The Bills will rematch the Patriots in the first round of the NFL's wild-card games on Saturday night. 

During the teams' last meeting in Gillette Stadium, the Bills recorded a 33-21 win that helped push them to the top of the AFC East. Buffalo went on to win the next two games against the Falcons and the Jets to clinch the division as the No. 3 playoff seed for the second consecutive year. 

On the other hand, back-to-back losses against the Colts and the Bills with the Chargers' 35-32 loss to the Raiders pushed New England down to the No. 6 playoff seed. The Patriots finished 10-7 at second in the AFC East. Star running back Damien Harris, who leads New England with 929 total rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, is currently listed as questionable for the wild-card matchup with a hamstring injury. Wide reciever Jakobi Meyers, who leads the team with 83 catches for 866 yards, is also questionable with a thigh injury. Aside from Harris and Meyers, New England has also listed a couple of key defensive players as questionable including linebacker Dont'a Hightower and defensive end Lawrence Guy.

The rematch will take place in Buffalo, in which there will be harsh weather conditions once again. A winter storm watch and a wind chill advisory were issued through Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service, with a temperature of 7 degrees or minus 3 with windchill. 

The Patriots defeated the Bills 14-10 in Buffalo's extreme wind and cold in Week 13. Although Mac Jones completed two of three passes for 19 yards, the Patriots' offense was dominant on the ground. Harris rushed on 10 carries for 111 yards with a touchdown. Josh Allen completed 15 of 30 passes for 130 yards with a touchdown but couldn't get momentum to take away the Patriots' lead.

The Miami Dolphins were finally brought back to Earth last weekend, suffering a 34-3 thrashing at the hands of the Tennessee Titans. The loss knocked them out of playoff contention at 8-8, as it ended a seven-game winning streak that was turning into a turnaround the likes of which the NFL has never seen. Even with the loss, it was a terrific bounceback for the Dolphins, who were 1-7 earlier this season.

Their opponents on Sunday are the New England Patriots, a familiar face playing for a familiar place: First in the AFC East. The 10-6 Patriots are locked into the playoffs, but they can win the East with a win and a Bills loss to the Jets. However, there’s not much use in postulating Patriots scenarios. They can end up anywhere from first in the AFC to seventh, depending on how things shake out. No playoff team will be scoreboard watching more than New England on Sunday, as they try to play themselves into a better spot.

The Dolphins, of course, have always been an issue for Bill Belichick. They tend to give the Pats issues, and Sunday would be a bad time for that. Losing throws a lot of things up in the air for New England, as they try to exert as much control as possible over their fate. Mac Jones has been exactly what the Patriots have needed him to be for most of the year, and that has to continue against an opportunistic Dolphins team with a surprising secondary.

The Patriots, of course, want to get back to the top of the division after the Bills won the East last year. New England was particularly conservative among its players in terms of sitting out due to COVID-19 in 2020, so a return to the top would be a big confidence booster heading into the playoffs. If the Patriots lose to the Dolphins Sunday, however, they’ll be looking around the league for help to determine their Wild Card matchup.
