‘Without Favre, the Packers managed a mere 108 yards of offense the rest of the game.’

‘Down 7-0, the Bills responded with 27 consecutive points. They improved to 2-0, marking only the second time the team has opened a preseason with two straight wins — and first since 1966.’

‘The defense had four sacks and an interception by Jabari Greer. Special teams saw a big kick return from ReShard Lee and a punt return from Drew Haddad, both for big yardage and place kicker Rian Lindell had two field goals, including a 54-yarder.’

‘In a recurring theme dating back to last season, the Bills special teams flat-out dominated.’

‘”I’m feeling a lot better than I did after the hit,” Moulds said after the game. “I just got the wind knocked out of me. It was nothing major.”‘

‘”Our fans are very loyal fans and I’ve been saying that since I walked out of here a few years ago,” said safety Lawyer Milloy. “It’s a city that is so deserving of a championship and some success. I think that’s what you’re seeing. I think everyone is really excited.”‘

"Buffalo Bills running back Willis McGahee (21) runs during the first half of the pre-season game against the Green Bay Packers at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., Saturday, Aug. 20, 2005."

"Playing the entire first half, Losman finished 7-of-14 for 59 yards, energized by a sellout crowd in his first home preseason game. He added 36 yards rushing, scoring on a 1-yard keeper set up by ReShard Lee’s 69-yard kickoff return in the second quarter."

"Moulds did not return after being tended to on the sideline, and watched the final eight minutes of the first half from the bench. The Bills said he did not return in part because he was only scheduled to play in Buffalo’s first three series."
