Pretty good article by Jerry Sullivan. I loved the quote at the end by Eric Wood.
In case you were wondering, the chips are still up there on their shoulders. By the time Sunday's game against the Eagles rolled around, they were more like boulders. One loss at Cincinnati and fans were heaving themselves off the back of the happy train. Fine. Sell them short. These Bills are used to it by now. They love it.
"We definitely thrive on that," said wide receiver David Nelson. "We lost one game and people were writing us off already, telling us we weren't as good as advertised. I heard a lot of talk about 3-13. It definitely motivated us. We came out this week to earn some more respect."
...
"We were a home dog today at 3-1, against a 1-3 team," said center Eric Wood. "We were an underdog. You don't put a lot of stock into it, but you know it and you talk about it. It ticks you off. But that helps us to keep the chip on our shoulder.
"Keep picking us to lose. We like it."
