CLEVELAND - This was supposed to be an easy Sunday afternoon for the Buffalo Bills, a team headed to the playoffs facing a 3-11 Cleveland Browns team that can’t wait for yet another horrible season to end.

If any defense out there can take advantage of that, it's a Bills unit that has forced 20 turnovers this year, which ranks in the top eight in the NFL.
