How to watch the New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills game in Week 4 of the NFL schedule

Buffalo, meanwhile, has shown why it's a Super Bowl contender. Josh Allen has thrown for 786 yards and five touchdowns, while also running for 114 yards and six touchdowns in wins over the Chargers, Lions and Texans.
The Patriots and Bills split the teams' two games last year, with New England winning early in the season on the road and Buffalo returning the favor late in the year.
