The offense wasn't great, but the defense was against a receiver-heavy Arizona passing attack, and that was enough for New England to move to 7-6 and into the driver's seat of a playoff spot. So what did we learn? Can the Patriots offense sustain itself as it did against the...

Matt and Barrett discuss the Thursday night stinker that the Patriots put up against the far superior Buffalo Bills.
