Bills get a taste of the Patriot game

THE New England Patriots secured the number one seed in the AFC and home advantage for the NFL play-offs as they came from three touchdowns down to hammer the Buffalo Bills.

Tashard Choice, Steve Johnson and CJ Spiller put the Bills 21-0 up inside the first quarter but BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Rob Gronkowski scored twice as the Patriots responded to win 49-21.

Quarterback Tom Brady, who also hit Gronkowski’s fellow tight end Aaron Hernandez for one of his three touchdown passes, followed New Orleans’ Drew Brees in surpassing Dan Marino’s 27-year-old record for passing yards in a season, reaching 5,235.
