• Patriots lose, 35-31. First impressions.

• Is this a wake-up call for this team?

• The Patriots aren’t there yet. They’re not a fully-finished product. The journey from 4-13 to the Super Bowl is not a straight line. It’ll have some detours. This could very well be one of them.

• What is it like after a tough late-season loss? What are the challenges of responding to a defeat like that one? We revisit the Miami Miracle — not a great memory for Hogan — and everything that came after.

• What impressed you the most about the Bills on Sunday? It was their resilience.

• Hogan still has every hat and T-shirt he earned as a player. “Those are special, man.”

• What about an AFC title game between the Bills and Patriots? “That would be pretty cool.”

• “The refs need to get their head out of their ass.”

• On Hogan being the keeper of the light at Gillette Stadium for a potential AFC title game between New England Buffalo. “I’ll break the damn bell.”

• On Baltimore-New England, and how the Ravens have been so consistent in their approach over the years.

• The Patriots need to match that physicality and energy. “I want this team to come out flying around this game. … Just cut it loose.”

• What’s a successful season for the Patriots, given the fact that the expectations have changed so much for this team? “This is already a successful season for this team, regardless of what happens. …We’ve put New England back on the map.”
