Make no mistake, the New England Patriots are led by Tom Brady and will go as far as he is able to take them, but so far this season the defense and Devin McCourty have been the story. The Buffalo Bills are aware of this.

Facing off against the 3-0 Buffalo Bills in maybe the most anticipated game of the week,  cornerback Devin McCourty was able to haul in a Josh Allen ball thrown into double coverage, making it his fourth straight game with an interception to his credit.

Between 2015-2018 McCourty had as many picks through those four seasons as he has through four games so far this season. The defense will have to continue to play shut down defense if they want to come out with a victory today and sit atop the AFC East by themselves.
