Normally you have turnovers and assists and the ball. It's a mistake by the quarterback this to prevent them."

Play from 5:28[5:28]" I never really want to say you know we're experience that give us an advantage because it all depends on what you do on Sunday or Thursday which is going to be this week so. And it took to think just because he's been in this situation before you got your quarterback. We've got a young running back. So -- there is were sort of a different team now so we've got some younger guys that haven't been in this situation before so I think we just need to take -- as we as we go.

Play from 7:49[7:49]" Welcome back to Patriots today against the bills Patriots offense was incredibly efficient especially in a long drive in the second half protect their lead and closed out the game Brian Moehler closer look."

Play from 8:00[8:00]" It's November at their at home the division is tighten the Patriots are hosting a division rival the Buffalo Bills they don't to gain that they have to win to me take control of the AFC east and the pats did just that. Twenty to ten victory over the Buffalo Bills they shared the lead in the AFC east now it's crunch time during the season. -- do what they had to do to win."

Play from 8:19[8:19]" On second down into the direction after --"

Play from 8:28[8:28]" For just the second time this year the Patriots scored a touchdown on their first drive of the game. They hadn't really lead that they never relinquished with the offense possessing the ball for fifteen minutes more than their -- Through a tough situation -- the forest and most pleasant person. Converting. Those third downs and him and -- some. As good in the bottom a few of them. Indeed the defining element of this game was the way the Patriots finished offensively. I had by ten with eleven minutes to play in a rapidly moving affair cancel the pats started the drive at the rookie. I -- in nineteen plays later after converting 33 down and forcing Buffalo to use all three of its timeouts. Benjarvis Green-Ellis plowed into the end zone -- two minute warning. Given the rookie his fourth touchdown of the year and his first ever 100 yard rushing game."

Play from 9:18[9:18]" Carlos in New York's vaunted power to him on behalf of the week because of his rookie -- The best thing for us but. And hunker down in the games and -- drive. You know come office and take the ball like getting -- we -- dropped down low and aren't days. You know -- ago this it's always refuses to."

Play from 9:44[9:44]" The Patriots have experience when it comes to pitching out tight games like the one on Sunday. For Bill Belichick that last drive of -- memories of the divisional playoff win over Indianapolis in January 2005. A seven minute fourth quarter possession. That would have happened had by the same twenty. The head coach called this one also. You know nickel and dime and comes out of your -- they're converting third downs and it is that's the way it is and that's the way this. The way it is now is that the pats -- 13 of the way through their current AFC east -- it's. Grinding out a win in the first -- against Buffalo they say he's a great way to kick off this stretch."

Play from 10:20[10:20]" It's the meat of our schedule we consider because I think that the first -- you have going into this season is one -- your division. I think that's that's no excuse me if you want to do. Sort of logjam right now excellent. The team that tips about the business. It's going to be tonight."

Play from 10:41[10:41]" And I'm joined now by Paul Perillo Patriots football weekly Paul the formula for this one was when eternal battle good run defense good third down on offense just you're -- like a you know football experts such as us you know we -- figure out your run where ball. We stop the run and you win the turnover bad enough he's going to win your share of foot -- August check check yet right. And after the game and we just -- for most of these players Richardson or else -- they understand this is a big game but this is when he comes in with the attitude of -- our division. It's November -- on -- the games that he went."

Play from 11:12[11:12]" It -- this team has won enough games over the past 678 years they should feel like that this is the Patriots division until someone proves otherwise that's exactly the minds of its -- these games. Three game stretch right now I think the first it was imperative. I think first what you don't Buffalo really big bonus -- to reach the division for the bills I really think he could put them on the back burner right now and focus on."

Play from 11:33[11:33]" Miami and the Jets. You know look it's not over there's still a lot of instantly seven football games left to play. I liked the way that the Patriots plan right now and I especially like the way they responded from the game probably felt. They should've won last week in feel sorry for themselves they came out and put together I think they're up most complete game the and that's why historically -- a simply by rule don't we don't lose consecutive games that got out they offer it is amazing."

Play from 11:56[11:56]" You know -- the way they're able to focus on here right now. I think if it serves them very well I think Belichick is the expert that I think they'll probably put a lot of -- game last week of himself that's makes it easy for the team as Logan Mankins and after the game. No he he doesn't really get into a lot of that stuff he tells what we do it right until we did run we move on to. That's the way they play yeah couple quick it's not -- what kind of forced yet. I thought he was solid again and I thought it was telling that at the into the game you know that signature drive that nineteen play 92 yard drive that they they salted away with they were inside their own ten. But you didn't see a lot of conservative handing the ball off until the end of the drive when the clock became their allies they threw off the goal line there were five -- a lot of games shotgun Cassel again. Showing us right before our eyes that. He can be counted on to run the softness. But the secondary to -- but really a big thing was limiting the big plays. Yeah well that's been the yeah fifteen the last couple weeks they've been able to stop the run. With five or six guys and it it would put too -- way off XE keep all the receivers we have some pretty dangerous guy. But the Patriots have his number is he very rarely has done a lot of damage against new England and again and I thought James Sanders Brandon Meriweather did a great job of keeping everything from."

Play from 13:02[13:02]" There we know the Patriots don't like to celebrate after any kind of win but does that mean now they only have four days until they play the Jets what is the mindset -- mentality over these next couple games and a couple days. -- to get ready quickly that well it's a little different and not situation that they use to you know they've been on Thanksgiving. You know a couple of times under Belichick but. Look I think it's just kind of rest up the best you can listen -- pretty physical game. Get your rest yet ready if you have a couple of quick days short turnaround began ten days off so I think that this game is imperative. I'm really looking forward there's going to -- game for the lead in the AFC east unless it. And -- Thursday night followed Tibetans --"

Play from 13:41[13:41]" Thanks Brian and -- up next got the head coach in the starting quarterback your your Patriots press past."

Play from 13:48[13:48]" We've seen that from day one and you know we carry five backs tend and it was the sixth but. And I thought I think everybody felt relief from Albion and training camp we've been in the strength. Frank chance that he was going to be competitive first follow roster aren't anyone's they should've been kicking game. Because his ball well that walker and and runs so becoming Jerry and both you know undrafted guys that if how many houses shouldn't draft is put them to -- football players. -- coverage and just opened up imparted to her I saw the opening. Just stuck my head down when sports. -- and isn't a good fit it. Good way to -- games. We're trying to win games were trying to beat the Buffalo Bills are good football team and violence there we're trying to win the game. China where rest any place it's the Buffalo Bills to five and three play at first place to. You know rest and plan for first place. He's just doesn't mean he goes out -- did you 150%. Every single bullet. There's no let up I guess he's -- fight yet grit he's a guy that every every guy on this team looks to those I would want to play if you don't what -- on my team because he's just been special guy continues to get better and better and better and -- the -- aren't. He never complacent in the -- business. Poker news so -- in his thinking it was so you better. It's been like that all year was to have him as a pre season games in training camp he's got a nose for the ball. And he's quick he's fast and plays strong strong -- so. He's he's been there are pretty regularly. It's just a hardworking kid and bought it goes. It's kind of -- you happy to see him have success because that and I think you really deserves as far as it works and puts him. -- the ball games and I we're first place in the business who wanted. It was going to be baldness club this week from Thursday night and so we're going to put. And everybody is excited about it and Jets and world is exactly suggest. -- comes and -- this time so that it should be. A big challenge for us and and will be up for Jones and sure."

Play from 16:09[16:09]" The next and quick stats on the game right after that it's."

Play from 16:15[16:15]" We'll be right back with more Patriots today."

Play from 16:19[16:19]" For years the front brakes on many have done through this -- You want to breaks this big. We know. Standard on. The drug it's changing you know."

Play from 16:41[16:41]" Welcome back -- say before we go get some quick stats and the game against Buffalo -- all about a win here they are these numbers."

Play from 16:55[16:55]" I'm sending the Patriots -- The bills for the tenth consecutive time -- streak. 2003. New England ten straight wins over the bills tying the longest current winning streak but one NFL team over another. Patriots victory over the bills New England did keep -- to -- yeah. 2000 tip including playoff. Doing that is now -- 2000 and the Patriots improved to sixteen and one -- game following a loss. Beginning of the 2003. The last five and has beaten the Patriots have only lost back to the on one occasion in November of 2006."
