Brave new people
Things are starting to get weird in the NFL.
The Colts are arguably the league’s worst team right now, while the Bills, Lions, Redskins and Texans currently all sit in playoff position. Sure, it’s still very, very early in the season, but we’re set up for a fascinating run through 2011.
The Bills have lost 15 (!!!) straight to the Patriots, a streak that dates to the 2003 season. Buffalo has been one of the surprises of the early season, blitzing the Chiefs in Kansas City and then rallying for a thrilling win over Oakland.
We’ll see just how good the Bills really are Sunday. They came into the season as an afterthought in the AFC East, where the Jets and Patriots were expected to be Super Bowl contenders. Both those teams have joined Buffalo with 2-0 starts, so Sunday could thrust the Bills to the top of the division or put them in the familiar position of looking up in the standings.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Fred Jackson have provided a potent 1-2 punch in Buffalo thus far, but can the Bills slow down Tom Brady, who has nearly 1,000 passing yards already?
