  NFL | Oct 18, 07
  
  Willis McGahee left the Buffalo Bills on less than pleasant terms this offseason. On Sunday, he'll get the chance to prove his doubters wrong when the Baltimore Ravens come to visit. The teams will meet at Ralph Wilson Stadium for the first time after three matchups in Baltimore, including a 19-7 win by the Ravens in last year's regular-season finale that secured a first round bye. McGahee was on the Bills' sideline that game, but following a March trade, he's flourished with the Ravens (4-2).
