Are you ready for some football? Patriots prepare to take on Bills

(NECN: Chris Collins, Foxboro, Mass.) - The expectations are high, and the anticipation is nearly bubbling over. The fans are starting to stream into Gillette Stadium for tonight's Patriots season opener. Tom Brady is back -- after suffering a season-ending injury early in last year's opener. The Patriots will host the AFC East-rival Bills in one of two games on the opening Monday night of the NFL's 2009 campaign. Tonight's second kickoff takes place in Oakland, where the Raiders await the San Diego Chargers.
