‘Bills FS Jairus Byrd and Texans LB Brian Cushing have both hit the ground running and been productive in their short time on an NFL field.’

‘Houston ranks third in the NFL in passing. The Bills are 28th.’

‘Bills, 23-20.’

‘"A lot of it comes from my father," Jairus said. "He’s done this before. So I’ve got to follow what he’s done. He’s been a great example to me growing up on how to be a man, and how to carry myself, the things a man does."’

‘The ongoing argument among restless fans is, "How many bad teams are there in the NFL and which one is the worst?" Despite their two road victories in succession, which came under bizarre circumstances, the Bills remain a candidate.’

‘"I think that it says a lot about the team and our head coach in terms of the resiliency," said Fitzpatrick. "We are fighting, we are pushing, and that is the kind of guys we have in this locker room."’

‘Are the Bills truly on a roll, or has the two-game win streak been a tease?’

‘”[The past two games] have not been pretty at times obviously, but we made the plays that had to be made to win the games,” Bills offensive co-ordinator Alex Van Pelt said. “The defence has done a great job keeping us in it for the last three weeks and that is huge for us. We still have to execute better. We are leaving a lot out there on the table right now. As we get going, hopefully we will have one of those games where everything comes together for us consistently on offence.”‘
