Tom Brady is great at a lot of things — but few of them are as notable as his utter destruction of the Buffalo Bills over the course of his career. The New England Patriots have a 28-3 record against the Bills in Brady’s starts, and he’ll get a chance to add to that total when the Patriots play at New Era Field on Monday Night Football, beginning at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN (live streaming via WatchESPN).

The Bills haven’t had much luck against the Patriots in the past, but they’ll try and change that on “Monday Night Football.”
Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports
New England began their season with a narrow win over the Texans followed by consecutive losses to the Jaguars and Lions. But they picked up from there, and earned a quality win over the Chiefs during their ongoing four-game winning streak. Their most recent win was over the defensively-tough Bears.
The Bills are living the rookie quarterback life, or at least they were until Josh Allen hurt his elbow and missed the last game. He’ll miss this one too, and Derek Anderson will be starting under center. Anderson completed 20 of 31 passes for 175 yards and three interceptions in his one start thus far.
Below is all you need to know for Monday’s game.
