Ralph Wilson Stadium
The New England Patriots, who have won 15 straight games against Buffalo, will travel to face the 2-0 Bills at Ralph Wilson stadium. The Patriots have not lost a game to the Bills since a 31-0 loss on opening day of the 2003 season (9/7/03). The 15-game win streak is the third longest winning streak over a single opponent in NFL history.
Great athletes at wide receiver like former University of Florida standout Nelson, and the ever-explosive Stevie Johnson, are valued assets to a Bills team that had probably forgotten what a touchdown celebration looked like before this season started. Throw in workhorse running back Fred Jackson, and just like that the Bills are making headlines for doing things right.
Now we move onto next Sunday.
This game may be too early in the season to the shape the playoff picture or warrant rooftop shouting, but the ripple effect of toppling a nemesis like New England would be enormous for the Bills as it slowly turns the page on its cold, depressing past.
Reports forecast a bright, beautiful day for football on September 25. Bills fans know skies won't always be as clear down the road, and that they need to enjoy the sun while it is still shining.
