New England is set to face the Houston Texans this Sunday, and the Patriots are favored to win. 🧭🏟️ Former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer has expressed a wish to see New England meet Buffalo in the AFC Championship, hoping for a dramatic showdown.
Hoyer’s stated reason goes beyond rooting for his former team; he says he loves Josh Allen and wants the Patriots to “rip [the Bills’] hearts out” in the title game, letting Buffalo feel like their window has closed. 😤❤️🏈 He shared this sentiment during a recent appearance on WEEI Afternoons.
Historically, the Bills dominated the AFC East from 2020 to 2024 but never captured a Super Bowl, while New England has long ruled the division. This season, New England appeared to reclaim the crown under Mike Vrabel’s leadership, with Drake Maye shining in his second year as quarterback, signaling a shift in the division. 🥇🏈
The two teams split their regular-season meetings, and both sides face big challenges in the divisional round. Buffalo must travel to Denver, where the Broncos’ home-field advantage is formidable and could complicate the Bills’ path, underscoring the high stakes as the rivalry heats up even before a potential AFC title matchup. 🗺️🏔️
