When the Bills Go Marching In

The Buffalo Bills will hit the road yet again this week as they prepare to take on the Super Bowl XLIV champion New Orleans Saints. The game will be played at 1:00 PM ET at the hostile Mercedes-Benz Superdome. 

In the past three matchups, the Saints have completely owned the Bills. On those previous occasions, the Bills have put up a miserable 6.67 points per game, while the Saints produced 23.3 points per game. If that isn't gloomy enough, since 2001, the only Bills player to throw a touchdown pass against the Saints was punter Brian Moorman. Moorman threw a 25-yard pass to former Bills defensive end Ryan Denny on a fake field goal. 

But going into Sunday's game, the Bills have something to encourage fans. There has only been two teams in the NFL this season to score at least 20 points in each of their games, the Denver Broncs and the Buffalo Bills. We all know how effortlessly Saints quarterback Drew Brees can pick apart a defense and score points in bunches. If the Bills can continue to put at least 20 on the scoreboard, they'll be able to hang with any opponent, including the New Orleans Saints.
