During a conference call with members of the Buffalo media on Thursday, New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady said playing the Bills in Ralph Wilson Stadium is always a tough place to play.

But when the Patriots take the field against the Buffalo Bills at 1 p.m. on Sunday in Orchard Park, Brady and his teammates said they will be ready and the noise will not be as much of a factor as it was when team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. Bills fans may be especially pumped after the NFL finalized the sale of team this week to Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula. Coming into Week 6, the Patriots and Bills have identical 3-2 records and they are tied for first in the AFC East.

Some key battles will be Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis against Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins. The Patriots offensive line, which played very well against the Cincinnati Bengals a week ago, will have to match that performance to protect Brady and establish a strong running game.

On the other side of the ball, the Patriots defense will have to shut down Bills' running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller and contain Bills Quarterback Kyle Orton, who is coming off of a 300-yard passing game last week against the Detroit Lions. Here is the complete breakdown of Sunday's matchup from Patriots.com.
