ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Chris Kelsay’s introduction to the Bills’ so-called and very one-sided divisional rivalry against the New England Patriots differed from many of the defensive end’s contemporaries over his 10 seasons in Buffalo.
He began his career with a win.
And yet, Kelsay will never forget the words of caution he received shortly after the Bills opened the 2003 season with a stunning 31-0 victory, punctuated by hefty defensive tackle Sam Adams returning Tom Brady's interception 37 yards for a touchdown.
“I remember guys were saying, ‘Don’t get used to this,’" Kelsay said with a laugh this week as Buffalo (11-6) prepares to host the Patriots (10-7).
