Week 17: Buffalo Bills – 21. New England Patriots – 49.

And another regular season is in the books. Ho hum, just another 13-3, home field advantage season in New England.

The key to the 2011 Pats making a serious Super Bowl run lies in their defenses ability to continue getting takeaways. If the interception well dries up the Pats could be in trouble.

The slow starts of recent weeks cannot happen in the playoffs either. Especially against teams that can run the ball like we have in the AFC, an early hole can be a death sentence. If the Patriots can put together 60 minutes on both sides of the ball they’ll be a very tough out, especially at home.
