The Patriots tonight will be looking for their 12th consecutive victory against the Buffalo Bills. The two original AFL rivals have met 98 times since 1960 -- the Pats' record in those games is 57-40-1, meaning that New England has beaten Buffalo more than any other franchise. The Pats' current 11-game winning streak over Buffalo is actually their second -- they also beat the Bills 11 consecutive times from 1983 to 1987. The Bills had a nine-game winning streak over the Patriots from 1971 to 1975.

During the current streak the Patriots have dominated in -- as you would imagine -- every statistical category. Here are some highlights:

Average margin of victory: 20 points (average score 29-9)

Total number of turnovers: Patriots 11, Bills 25

Rushing yards per game: Patriots 144, Bills 91

Net passing yards per game: Patriots 229, Bills 151
