Week 1- at Bills: Patriots win 23-21

The 2013-14 Patriots in Review

Stunning comeback wins and breakout stars characterized the Patriots season in 2013. As the AFC Championship approaches, this is the road that brought the Pats there.

The Pats won their tenth straight season opener with a road win against the Buffalo Bills, but it was much closer than many people were expecting. New Bills quarterback EJ Manuel was impressive, throwing two touchdown passes, but he still fell short of Tom Brady’s 288 passing yards, and a Stephen Gostowski field goal in the last five seconds put the Pats over the top to win 23-21.
