With a win against the Bills at Gillette Stadium onMonday Night Football, the Patriots would clinch their 13th consecutive season with 10 or more wins, the second-longest such streak in NFL history. Only the San Francisco 49ers (1983-1998) have posted a longer streak of consecutive 10-win seasons (16).
