New England extended their NFL winning streak to eight games with a 23-3 win over the Buffalo Bills while Philadelphia's nine-match victory run was ended by a Russell Wilson-led Seattle.

Running back Rex Burkhead scored a pair of touchdowns for the Patriots to go with Stephen Gostkowski's three field goals before halftime.

Tom Brady completed 21 of 30 passes for 258 yards, while improving to 27-3 over Buffalo and breaking Brett Favre's NFL record for most wins by a quarterback against any one opponent.

The 10-2 Patriots won their 14th successive road game -- the second-longest streak in NFL history -- and reached double-digits in victories for the 15th consecutive season.

Minnesota Vikings (10-2) also claimed their eighth win in a row, with Case Keenum throwing two touchdown passes in their 14-9 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
