‘"I consider this home, and I really don’t want to go nowhere," he said. "If I go somewhere else, I have to start all over. I have to meet other people, do other stuff. I just don’t want to do that. If it comes down to that, I’ll do it. But I would rather be here. I enjoy the people."’

”’London goes about his business and rarely gets the credit he deserves,” Bill head coach Mike Mularkey said by phone from Buffalo. ”He is having one of those years that most guys would consider to be Pro Bowl (caliber). He quietly goes about it, makes a lot of tackles, makes a lot of plays and leads the defense that has been ranked in the top five for most of the last couple years.”’

Bills giving battered Browns respect
‘"It’s a unique mentality because everyone realizes a new coach is coming in, so if anything, everybody picks up their play because they know these games are going to be evaluated by the new staff," Tucker said. "They have nothing to lose. I’m sure Robiskie is going to pull out all the stops. We expect nothing but their best, just like we got from Miami."’
