With the toughest part of the schedule down, the Patriots have a funfetti flavored cakewalk left. The next team with a winning record that the Patriots face is week 17 against the Bills at home.

And even with that lone “tough” game, the Bills could have a losing record by that point, or the Patriots could have already clinched the division. I’m getting ahead of myself, but a victory like last night’s will do that to you.

Rob Gronkowski will be a big part of duplicating the Patriots earlier 31-20 victory this Sunday Night.

NEPD Staff Writer Doug Kyed:

You know what guys, I’m going into this game pessimistically optimistic. Meaning: I know the Patriots can win, but if I don’t expect them to, minimal damage will be done to my apartment. No throwing chairs, no throwing lids of storage ottomans across the room.

Here’s some things I’ll be looking for Sunday night.
