For the second time this season, the New England Patriots and franchise quarterback Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills 20–13 to continue their dominance and stay undefeated at 10–0. 

It was a low scoring affair, but the Patriots stood out especially since they were playing without two of their key offensive players in running back Dion Lewis and wide receiver Julian Edelman who are injured. 

Brady did not have an explosive performance completing 20 of 39 passes for 277 yards and one touchdown, also throwing one interception and was sacked once, but it was enough for the win. 

The standout game came from wide receiver Danny Amendola who took charge of the receiving department following the injury to Edelman. 

Amendola had nine receptions for 117 yards to lead all receivers, unfortunately he appeared to have suffered a knee injury which forced him to leave the game and never return. 

In 10 games played this season, the 30-year-old has 49 receptions for 520 yards and two touchdowns. 

The injury to Amendola is another tough blow for the defending Super Bowl champions as they are starting to run thin at the position, with Edelman getting injured beforehand. 

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan had some good words for New England following the defeat, saying according to ESPN, "At the end of the day, they find ways to win. That's what championship teams do. We're not at that level, but I promise you we'll get there."

The Patriots are close to winning the American Football Conference (AFC) East again with their unblemished record. 

But the champions will have a tough task ahead of them as they take on the leaders of the AFC West, the Denver Broncos, this Sunday for their Week 12 matchup. 

It will be a classic collision between two of the best quarterbacks in the league as Brady and Peyton Manning try to lead their teams to the victory.
