The Patriots will face the 2-0 Bills in Buffalo at less than full strength.

Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald writes tight end Aaron Hernandez will likely miss the game. Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe reports Hernandez has a sprained MCL and Hernandez will miss 1-2 weeks.

New England may be even more concerned about their secondary. Safety Patrick Chung, cornerback Ras-I Dowling, and cornerback Kyle Arrington all left with injuries against San Diego.

Perhaps Bills-Patriots will be a shootout just like Bills-Raiders was on Sunday. It’s like the AFL never ended.
