The2002 season was theBuffalo Bills' 43rd as a franchise and 33rd in theNational Football League.

The Bills acquired veteranquarterbackDrew Bledsoe fromthe New England Patriots ondraft weekend in exchange for Buffalo's first-round pick in the2003 draft,[1] (the Bills later gained a first-round pick via a sign-and-trade of receiverPeerless Price, coming off a breakout season, tothe Atlanta Falcons for their first-round pick in the 2003 draft). Bledsoe brought instant credibility to Buffalo's inept passing game; the Bills' offense scored the sixth most points in the AFC in 2002, after having scored the fifth fewest in the entire league theprevious season.

The season saw the Bills change their uniform, which lasted until2011.[2][3]

Regular season

[edit]

Due to the Bills' 3–13 record the previous season, the NFL did not schedule any of their games in prime time (Sunday night or Monday night), and all but two of the Bills' games had 1:00 start times. However, due to the attention the Bills' free-agent acquisitions brought to the team, as well as the team being in the thick of the competitive AFC East race, several division games were aired nationally on CBS.

After a one-year absence, theNFL Primetime theme "Powersurge" returned as the Bills' theme song on the ESPN program. It was used for the show's Bills highlights for each game during the season except for the Bengals/Bills game in Week 17.
