The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for a Christmas Eve game against the Denver Bronco's. The Bills lost their seventh game in a row Sunday against the Miami Dolphins with a 30-23 upset.

It's no secret that the Bills have received a lot of criticism for loosing many games this season.  Head Coach Chan Gailey says anyone in his position would be criticized.

"I don't ever want to make an excuse for anything we do on the football field, because my job is to get NFL players ready to win a game and we haven't done it. you feel like you haven't done your job when you don't win," Gailey said.

A lot of focus is on Bronco's quarterback Tim Tebow. The Denver quarterback has been able to bring the team to a win even when they're trailing behind. Coach Gailey says he agrees Tebow is good, but beatable.

"We're all doing the very best we can trying to put guys in position to be successful. That's all we're trying to do is be the best we can and try to win this game and the next one. That's the goal, that's the only thought right now," said Gailey.

Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had three interceptions during the Miami game. He says his goal for Saturday's game is to learn from the last games mistakes.

A lot of it is just decision making and everybody being on the same page. That's through communication and just through me playing smarter. So that's something that I've tried to work on all year long and something that I need to continue to improve on," Fitzpatrick said.

Bills fans will find out Wednesday if the game will be televised locally.
