At 3-0, Bills go from AFC’s near-worst to first

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Coach Chan Gailey prefers the alternative after being reminded how the Buffalo Bills were affectionately called “lovable losers” a year ago.

“Lovable winners” is more like it, as Gailey put it Monday, now that the Bills are 3-0.

The Bills have gone from being the NFL’s last team to win a game following an 0-8 start last season, to being the AFC’s only remaining unbeaten team this year.

They’re winning in dramatic fashion. Buffalo overcame a 21-point deficit to beat New England 34-31 on Sunday, making the Bills the NFL’s first team to rally from 18 points down and win in consecutive weeks.

And they’re doing it with eye-popping numbers. The Bills’ 113 points lead the NFL in preparing for their next test at Cincinnati (1-2) on Sunday.
