CLEVELAND (AP) - They're sister cities linked by a Great Lake, snow and soul-crushing sports heartbreak.
Cleveland and Buffalo: Where losing is a way of life.
Generations of fans in these two proud cities have endured more than their share of tortuous losses. And most of those low, gut-wrenching moments have been tagged for eternity with catchy nicknames like "The Drive," "Wide Right," "The Fumble," and "The Music City Miracle."
Nobody does defeat like Clevelanders or Buffalonians, who've had misery served to them like blue cheese with chicken wings.
This week, though, only one set of these rabid, Rust Belt fans will have to suffer.
The Browns (8-5) and Bills (7-6), two surprise teams lumped in with the league's other bottom feeders before the season began, will play Sunday in a showdown with AFC playoff implications.
