-- The Patriots have now won 10 straight games against the Bills, dating back to the opening game of the 2003 season when the Bills -- behind quarterback Drew Bledsoe and newly acquired safety Lawyer Milloy, signed after he'd been released by the Patriots on the previous Tuesday -- routed the Pats, 31-0, in Buffalo. The Patriots beat the Bills 31-0 in the rematch on the final day of the regular season that year, swept the two-game season series between the teams in 2004, '05, '06 and '07, and made it 10 in a row with today's victory.

-- It matches the current longest streak of consecutive victories by one team over another in the NFL, tying Pittsburgh's run of success over Cleveland and San Diego's over Oakland.

-- Today's win was the Patriots' 50th victory at Gillette Stadium since its opening in 2002.
