Bills 21-point comeback ends Pats streak at 15 - BuffaloBills.com
"Best one of my career," said Chris Kelsay of the victory. "Regardless if it’s Week 3 or the last game of the season, I’ve never been to the postseason. I’ve played on Monday night, played a close one against Dallas where we came up short. I’ve played these guys 17 times and only won one until (Sunday), so it’s awesome. Anytime you can beat a great team like that and a great coaching staff like that you’re going to enjoy it."

Reaction: Bills 34 - Patriots 31 - WGR 550
"It doesn't matter that the Patriots scored to tie up the game late. Just like the Kansas City and Oakland games, when push comes to shove, this team embraces and trusts one another so much that they know they can put away the game for a win. Having that mentality is half the battle. This team is for real, folks. 3-0, and it's a different 3-0 than it was in 2008."

HAMILTON: Gailey And His Team Has Arrived - WGR 550
"I'm not going to lie to you. When the Patriots went up 21-0 in the second quarter I thought there was zero chance the Bills would come back and win.

This is the team Buffalo has lost 15 straight games to, there's just no way they're coming back to win."
