ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — One of Chan Gailey’s first acts after taking over as the Buffalo Bills coach was to take down the TV sets in the weight room in a bid to inspire a business-first focus.

His second task was far less cosmetic and much more daunting in attempting to turnaround what had been a losing culture in Buffalo. Nineteen games into Gailey’s tenure, the Bills are showing signs of responding.

Veteran linebacker Chris Kelsay is among numerous players crediting the coach for the sudden transformation in seeing how the Bills have gone from hoping to win, to expecting to win.

Kelsay says the team’s confidence has “blossomed” in getting off to a 3-0 start. Gailey says the players deserve the credit.

Buffalo plays at Cincinnati (1-2) on Sunday.
