‘”It was his most productive game for sure,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “It was good to have him actively involved-getting tackles for losses, batting passes, sacks and all of that kind of stuff. That is good. The more good players we can have in there, the better our rotation is and the better it makes us on defense.”‘

‘The fifth-year tight end has 32 catches this season, 27 of which have produced a first down. That first-down percentage of 84.4 ranks fourth in the NFL. Chandler’s only catch Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars went for his sixth touchdown of the season, making him the first tight end in team history to have at least six touchdown catches in consecutive seasons.’

So it’s going to be a fan and family experience,” said Greg Albrecht, executive director of Bills-in-Toronto.’

You’d have to say the wrist injury suffered by Mario Williams was a major factor in Buffalo’s slow start on defense. And the team probably had a longer-than-anticipated break-in period for Dave Wannstedt’s new scheme.’
