In allowing the Raiders only a Sebastian Janikowski field goal over 60 minutes, Denver extended its early season defensive run to one touchdown surrendered through five games - the first stretch of its kind in the NFL since the 1934 Detroit Lions shut out their first seven opponents. Since giving up 18 points at St. Louis in a Week 1 loss, Denver has held four subsequent foes to single digits, setting a club record for most consecutive games allowing less than 10 points.

It's the Bills who have yet to find any semblance of consistency, having lost two straight, including a 20-17 head-scratcher against the previously winless Detroit Lions last week. Finding a way to beat New England then becomes a necessity for a team in jeopardy of falling out of the AFC East race. ``The mind-set is we are desperate for a win,'' receiver Peerless Price said. ``None of us in this locker room shou |
