If anyone predicted before the start of the 2025 season that the New England Patriots would be a playoff-bound team at any point, never mind heading into Week 13, there are not many people who would believe them. In fact, most projections had them missing the postseason and just barely improving their previous season record.

They accomplished that by being the first team with 10 wins with their victory over the Bengals last week, and hope to improve that against the Giants on Monday Night. It will move them one step closer not only to the playoffs but also to winning the AFC East for the first time since the 2019 season, a feat the Bills were sure wouldn’t happen any time soon.

Instead, that’s the reality, and Buffalo is hoping it can win enough games over the last month of the season to be a wild-card team this year.

That’s not exactly where they want to be, just five years after Tom Brady left the Patriots and essentially handed the division to the division. They haven’t accomplished much during that time, and it’s looking like their Super Bowl window is closing, especially after their social media team posts a laughable message a day before a telling matchup against the Steelers.

The Bills are sweating losing their spot at the top of AFC East to the Patriots

At this point in the season, many teams are hoping to see the downfall of their biggest foes, and even more for those that will help them secure a spot in the playoffs.

That’s the inevitable future the Bills are facing heading into Week 13, and their social media team decided to post a rooting guide for Sunday’s slate of games, proving once again that their downfall is real.

It prompted Patriots fans to troll them in the replies, because who wouldn’t enjoy the downfall of the reigning divisional champions more than the fans they have come for the most over the last five seasons?

And seeing a post like this, something that the Patriots haven’t shared before, proves even more that the Patriots are a legitimate threat in the division, far more than many of the loudest voices around the league want to give them credit for.

Unfortunately for Buffalo, they have a steep climb ahead of them to take the division away from New England, and that is (hopefully) what will continue beyond this season.
