ORCHARD PARK - How do you top perfection? The simple answer is that you can’t because, after all, perfect is perfect.

So no, don’t expect the Buffalo Bills to be perfect on offense Thursday night when they travel to New England to take on the Patriots in the first of three consecutive games against AFC East opponents which, in all likelihood, will determine whether the Bills can win their third straight division title.

The last time these teams met, the Bills put on an offensive clinic in their 47-17 rout of the Patriots in an AFC wild-card playoff game at Highmark Stadium, the likes of which had never been seen.

That night, the Bills became the first team in NFL history to pull off this trifecta: No punts, no field goal attempts, and no turnovers. As you recall, on the seven possessions where they were trying to score, they put up a touchdown on every one. On the other two official possessions, they knelt down to kill the clock at the end of the second and fourth quarters.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen celebrates with fans after beating the Patriots 47-17.

And remember, that incredible performance came just a few weeks after the Bills grabbed control of the division when they went to Gillette Stadium and drummed the Patriots 33-21 in a game where they did attempt a field goal (two in fact), but again did not punt or suffer a turnover.

“Not really that I can recall,” Josh Allen said when he was asked if he had ever played in a game quite like the playoff game. “All I know is we won the game. We found a way, it was a fun game to be a part of but we understand as a team that what we did last year has no effect and is not going to help us in any way this next game.”

Make no mistake, the Patriots - who are a feisty 6-5 team playing tremendous defense this season - will be thirsty for revenge against an Allen offense that, despite its gaudy numbers, has not been clicking on all cylinders lately. Certainly not the way it was at the end of 2021 or even the start of 2022.
