‘Either Lynch or Jackson were involved in 33 of the Bills’ 51 offensive plays and accounted for 167 of the team’s 285 net yards. Lynch led the way in rushing with 59 yards, while Jackson had team highs in catches (seven) and receiving yards (83).’

Now we have Oakland this week. Our expectations are to go 3-0 and that’s what we’re working on. This next game is a huge opportunity for us to keep the momentum and excitement that’s building.”‘

‘"We look at Fred as just a very valuable 1-2 punch, he and Marshawn," Bills head coach Dick Jauron said following Buffalo’s 20-16 victory in Jacksonville. "We think the world of him. We know he’s got talents in a lot of different areas. He makes plays. He’s got a great feel for the game, a tough guy. He’s just a really good football player."’

‘It’s hard to define what ‘it’ is, but when a guy has ‘it’ you know it. Edwards’ demeanor is his strength – calm, cool, unflappable. Face it.’

‘”I think ‘encouraged’ is a good way to describe it,” Edwards said. “But for me, personally, I still feel like we have a lot to prove. It’s Week 2. It’s nothing monumental.”‘
