Fans may have taken the Buffalo Bills for granted, with the expectation of victory and the foregone conclusion that the AFC East would simply be theirs to grasp. Coming off a rocking loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins and watching the now 8-2 New England Patriots take the division lead away, perhaps fans will find themselves sobered.
No success can be taken for granted, especially not in this 'any given Sunday' league we think we know so well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter this game as underdogs, and the Buffalo Bills would do well to remember what that's like.
