The New England Patriots have just convincingly won against the Cincinnati Bengals, but they're already looking forward to an explosive Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills as their biggest game of the year.
The Patriots understand how big of a game they have coming up and will be throwing everything they have to ensure they get the three points without any problems.
Everyone in the Patriots organization is taking this seriously. Safety Duron Harmon stressed the importance of the game for the playoff standing.
“Humongous. It’s the biggest game of the year,” Harmon said, via the Boston Herald.
A quick look at the current AFC East standings will also explain why they want to sort this out now. They stand atop the conference with an 11-3 record, while the Bills aren't that far behind with their 10-4 mark. If the Bills manage to make the most of the poor run of form the Patriots are currently in, it will make the final rankings more complicated.
It's in the Patriots' best interests to finish the season at the top. Their future will be uncertain if they have to go through the wild card, given the current condition of their offense. They will not want to test their luck in the wild card, so winning this game will be a statement game for the defending champs.
It will surely be an explosive game to watch as both Tom Brady and Josh Allen will want to win this one for their teams. Whoever wins this match effectively wins the AFC East.
