Patriots

The Patriots and Bills will square off in Week 4 each holding a 3-0 record. For the Bills, this matchup holds a very rare level of significance.

According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN, this is the first time an undefeated Bills team will face off against a team with a record of 3-0 or better since 1992, where they lost to Dan Marino's Dolphins. 

Louis-Jacques also notes that the Bills did play the Patriots when both teams were 2-0 back in 2011. That game, of course, did not go New England's way. Tom Brady threw a career-high four interceptions and the Patriots squandered a 21-0 first-half lead. 

Buffalo will host once again in a battle of AFC East unbeatens in a game that should go a long way in determining how real this Bills team is.
