ORCHARD PARK - The Buffalo Bills will have to adjust their body clocks on Sunday because for the first time since Oct. 22, they are kicking off at 1 p.m. when they host the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium.
This will be just the sixth early Sunday start of the season (counting the 9:30 a.m. London game) for a Buffalo franchise that used to live in the 1 p.m. window before it became a perennial playoff team.
The Bills won their first three 1 p.m. starts of 2023 against the Raiders, Commanders and Dolphins, lost that London game to the Jaguars, and then suffered a galling 29-25 defeat at the hands of the Patriots in their last 1 p.
