The storied rivalry between the Patriots and the Bills goes back so far that it predates their entry into the National Football League.

In those 111 regular and postseason games, the Patriots hold a record advantage at 68-42-1 and have outscored Buffalo by a total of 410 points, or 3.7 points per game.
