On the road against teams with a final winning record. Haven't won one since 2010. Sure, they've beaten teams who have looked good at times, but this stat is meaningful nonetheless. If you factor in that this year's versions of KC and Miami may also finish above .500, it illustrates a major problem (though the Buffalo win was impressive.) This game, not the Denver game, is in my opinion the biggest game of the regular season for the Pats and a chance to finally learn to win in adverse road conditions against playoff teams.
You'll also note that Carolina, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Baltimore were all games that were very winnable and the Patriots were out-executed down the stretch (except Baltimore, a game in which they absolutely should have won, although they still made some mental mistakes.)
