The Buffalo Bills will get their first up-close look at a revamped New England Patriots team in Week 5, now featuring head coach Mike Vrabel and the return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator. This first of two-annual games will be decided in Orchard Park, NY, as the Bills complete a three-game homestand in the early part of their season.
