Patriots: Team readies to play Buffalo on Sunday following a bye week

(AP) — The New England Patriots have returned to work after a few days away from the field. The Pats were back at practice yesterday after a bye week that followed a cross-ocean trip to London two weeks after a cross-country journey to Seattle. New England leads the AFC East with a 5-3 record. The Patriots have five of their remaining eight games at home starting this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
