FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady wont return to an undefeated team after all.But following the Buffalo Bills surprise 16-0 shutout victory at New England Sunday, he will come back to an AFC East that is suddenly tighter a month into the season.Buffalos win was a continuation of an offensive turnaround that seemed improbable after a 0-2 start.The change in direction began with the firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman and promotion of assistant Anthony Lynn. It is now in full bloom after back-to-back wins over Arizona and New England.For sure, were confident in coach Lynn, running back LeSean McCoy said. Each game, each time he has a shot he has to call a play, different situations, hes answering every time. ... We loved him already before he was an offensive coordinator, and now were just falling in love with the calls that hes making.And for a team that seemed to be going nowhere two weeks ago, getting just its second win in 16 visits to Foxborough is a very big deal.A big part of the reason is quarterback Tyrod Taylor. In his second year as a starter, he has found confidence with his throwing.He had trouble reading coverages and throwing the deep ball earlier in the season, but didnt exhibit those issues in picking apart a veteran New England defense that is having trouble defending the pass this season.Buffalos defense also took a big step by handing the Patriots their first shutout loss at Gillette Stadium.Even with Brady serving the final game of his four-game Deflategate ban, cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman said its something to build on.So was the camaraderie his teammates showed about an hour before the game, when Bills safety Robert Blanton and others were involved in a shoving match with Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett and receiver Malcolm Mitchell.Robey-Coleman said he and other Buffalo players felt disrespected when the Patriots players twice ran through their pregame warmups.Several punches were thrown when a shoving match erupted near the sideline. The altercation appeared to begin when Brissett was jogging along the field and was shoved by Bills safety Robert Blanton.Brissett didnt stop, and Mitchell retaliated by shoving Blanton. Blanton responded by punching Mitchell in the chest and head-butting him, which led to several other players and assistant coaches getting involved before it was broken up.When he did that, it kind of put a fire up underneath us, Robey-Coleman said. We came out there with some fire. And it was like, `Nah, we aint going to let nobody disrespect us no matter where were at.WELCOME BACK BRADY: As bad as things went for the Patriots on Sunday, Bradys return to the team on Monday is welcomed for several reasons. Not only do they get back the leader of their offense, but they get back a healthy player at the position with Jimmy Garoppolo still recovering from his shoulder injury and Brissett not 100 percent after tweaking his right thumb last week. Receiver Julian Edelman said his presence will help everyone refocus.Any time one of your best players isnt there, theres something missing, Edelman said. We handled a lot of it well. Today we just didnt. The Bills outplayed us, so thats that.A LITTLE MORE GRONK: After going without a catch in his season debut last week, Rob Gronkowski got his first reception of 2016 with an 11-yard reception in the fourth quarter. With it, he took over sole possession of 20th place among NFL tight ends. Gronkowski (5,566) needs 161 yards to move past Irving Fryar (5,726) into fourth place on the Patriots career receiving list.BOUNCING BACK: Following a 0-2 start, Ryan looked forward to Buffalos next two opponents.He said Arizona and New England would be a great test to see how his team responds. The Bills passed with flying colors in winning both games, starting with a 33-18 win over the Cardinals.Yeah, not one of the more brilliant statements Ive had, Ryan said with a self-deprecating laugh. Well, I feel a lot better.SACK ATTACK: The Bills had three sacks against the Patriots.Buffalo has 13 sacks in four games after managing just 21 last season -- a franchise low for a 16-game schedule. Last season, the Bills failed to record more than two sacks in one game. This season, the Bills have had three or more three times.More encouraging is the Bills defense prepares to welcome back star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, who missed the first four games serving a suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Hugo Lloris Jersey . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Hotspur Jerseys . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. http://www.footballhotspurstore.com/Women-Michel-Vorm-Tottenham-Hotspur-Jersey/ .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. Kyle Walker-Peters Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Toby Alderweireld Hotspur Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Washington is back in a lofty position in the polls. But the 10th-ranked Huskies staying power will be tested Friday night.Washington will play host to No. 7 Stanford on Friday night at 9 p.m. ET in the first matchup of top 10 teams at Husky Stadium in 19 years. The outcome could go a long way in determining the Pac-12 North and which team moves on as the leagues favorite to get to the College Football Playoff.Its awesome, no question about it, said Washington coach Chris Petersen.Stanfords an awesome program. Ill start with that -- program. This isnt just an awesome team. Theyve had an awesome program here for a while now. They know how to do it right and play good football, win championships. So its a great opportunity for the kids, and for everybody playing in a game like this.The Huskies (4-0 overall, 1-0 Pac-12) played a soft non-conference slate of Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State before surviving a road game at Arizona, 35-28 in overtime Saturday night. Stanford (3-0, 2-0) is much more battle-tested, having defeated Kansas State, USC and UCLA.The Cardinal, too, was taken to the brink last week, scoring a go-ahead touchdown with 24 seconds left and adding a fumble return for a score on the final play in a 22-13 victory at the Rose Bowl. Coach David Shaw was pleased how new starting quarterback Ryan Burns reacted to the do-or-die final drive after struggling for much of the game.There is no substituting the environment he was in, Shaw said after Mondays practice. Not playing a great game ... and coming back with a chance to win at the end of the game, you cant duplicate that.And you cant duplicate what were going to face this week: Top 10 opponent, in their house. Its going to be loud. Youre not going to be able to hear a thing. I think that environment, you dont know how youre going to respond until youre in it.Stanford has won 15 of its past 16 games and has tied a school-record by winning seven consecutive Pac-12 road games. The Cardinal has won three of the past four conference championships.Stanford also has won seven of the past eight meetings against Washington, including 31-14 last season. Cardinal star running back Christian McCaffrey gained 109 rushing yards and 112 receiving yards, including a 50-yardd touchdown, in that game.ddddddddddddMcCaffrey, by his standards, had an abnormally quiet game last week with 138 rushing yards and no touchdowns against UCLA. But Washington yielded 308 rushing yards in its overtime win over Arizona, including 173 to quarterback Brandon Dawkins.The Huskies defense, led by safety Budda Baker, cornerback Sidney Jones and linebacker Azeem Victor, is tied for the national lead with 13 takeaways. They are 15th in scoring defense, allowing 14.5 points per game.The Stanford defense, fueled by defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, is allowing 12.0 points per game against a tougher schedule.Washington quarterback Jake Browning is third nationally in passing efficiency (194.9), with 14 touchdown passes and two interceptions. He didnt play in last seasons loss to Stanford because of injury.Shaw said he is worried about Washingtons offensive speed, which includes receiver John Ross, tailback Myles Gaskin and tailback Lavon Coleman, who was an unlikely hero with a career-best 181 yards against Arizona.Speed everywhere, Shaw said. Their running backs have speed. Their receivers have speed. It used to be that you had to worry about that No. 1 guy (Ross) running by you. Now its a bunch of guys.Stanford likely has more speed that it gets credit for, as McCaffrey is not the only weapon on offense. Wide receiver Michael Rector has 4.4 speed, receiver Trenton Irwin had a team-high seven catches last week against UCLA and backup running back Bryce Love had five carries for 51 yards. He has been working his way back from injury and should be close to 100 percent this week, Shaw said.The Cardinal wont have receiver Francis Owusu, who suffered a concussion last week.This will be the first top 10 matchup in Seattle since No. 7 Nebraska beat the No. 2 Huskies 27-14 in 1997. Washington, earlier this month, reached the top 10 for the first time since Nov. 4, 2001.Are the Huskies all the way back?Fridays spotlight game will begin to really tell the tale.I just want everyone to enjoy college football and be all in, Petersen said. Players all in, fans all in, coaches, everybody ... all in. ' ' '
