TNK - PATRIOTS FRANCHISE
WEEK 1 - New England @ Buffalo
The Patriots win an amazing game in week 1 as they go on the road to beat Buffalo in the season opener by a score of 31-24. The Bills drove in to the red zone with under 2:00 to play and went for it on 4th & 2 instead of going for the field goal and onside kick and the Patriots defense stuffed CJ Spiller in the backfield for the turnover on downs. The Patriots then ran out the clock to end the game.
* This was a fantastic game
* Tom Brady threw 2 TD and 2 INT (1 INT was completely my fault as I lobbed a ball I should have fired in there to Gronk)
* Only a couple bad drops by CPU and they moved the ball offensively
* BEST GAME YET WITH THE SLIDERS!!!!!
