‘Fasani was signed last weekend. The Bills confirmed the news on Wednesday.’

‘Eric Moulds: “He’s come a long ways. He was very close last Sunday.”‘

‘Defensive tackle Ron Edwards (doubtful), Sammy Morris (questionable), and Mike Williams (questionable) also appear on the injury report for this week. Morris and Williams are both expected to practice Wednesday.’

‘The Bills will have to maintain their offensive success when they travel to Kansas City next week in a prime time showdown with the explosive Chiefs. With the Patriots defeating the Dolphins, the Bills are only one game out of first place, and if they continue to play the way they did against the Redskins, future opponents should have reason to worry.’

‘Brown is averaging a respectable 21.1 yards on 17 kickoff returns, including a long run of 41 yards. What the Bills want to see is the explosive burst and decisiveness that made him so effective in the exhibition games.’

‘It’s definitely no accident. The Chiefs preach the importance of turnover differential, and Kansas City enters Sunday night’s game against Buffalo leading the NFL with 20 takeaways. The Chiefs’ nine giveaways result in a plus-11 margin. Buffalo is minus-2. “We’re plus-11, Minnesota is plus-13,” Vermeil said. “The two of us are both undefeated. We’re doing something right. But we’re not doing everything perfect.”‘

‘Prediction: Chiefs 27, Bills 17. Dante Hall makes a big play.’

‘Buffalo ranks 25th in the NFL in offense but No. 3 on defense. Already this season, the Chiefs have faced the No. 2 (Pittsburgh), No. 4 (Denver) and No. 9 (Baltimore) defenses in the league.’

‘”But we never should have let the game get that close anyway. We should have put these guys away in the third quarter when we had the chance. Give them credit. Those guys have a lot of pride, and they fought back.” Added Warfield: “We had just enough to get it done.”‘

‘Life should get a little easier this week with the Bills coming to town which means the Chiefs should be 8-0 heading into their bye week.’

‘The home team has won eight of the last nine Chiefs-Bills contests.’

‘Now is your chance to ask Buffalo’s top back a question!’

‘Buffalo Bills running back Travis Henry is among the finalists for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honors.’

‘Williams is looking for work and what better place to resume his NFL career than in his own backyard.’

‘In his fourth outstanding effort in four weeks, the linebacker had 12 tackles and a sack in a 17-10 victory over Oakland on Monday night that kept the Chiefs unbeaten.’
