It was over when...
The Patriots set foot on the Ralph Wilson Stadium field. Much like the last meeting between these two AFC East rivals, the Bills never had a chance, as the Patriots scored on seven of their eight possessions -- all touchdowns -- adding an eighth touchdown on an interception by CB Ellis Hobbs.

Perhaps someone informed Randy Moss about Terrell Owens' four-touchdown, eight-reception, 173-yard performance against the Redskins earlier on Sunday, because Moss caught as many receptions and TD passes in the first half alone. He finished with 10 catches, 128 yards and a career-high four TD receptions. His previous high was three, which he accomplished five different times.
Key stat
The Patriots recorded 30 first downs, compared to 12 for Buffalo. On third down, the Patriots were 8-of-11, while Buffalo went 4-of-10.
