‘”Honestly, I’m really not a big know-my-stats guy. I’ll never know how many tackles I’ve made, or how many plays I was out there,” he said. “I could tell you how many times I messed up, or how many missed tackles I had.”‘

‘”It’s a blessing. I kept praying throughout those whole two seasons I was out,” he said. “It just shows you’ve got to stay fully committed to your dreams and goals. I’ve seen it first hand. I just kept the faith and now I’ve got a chance to play football again.”‘

‘”If your question is would I love to have more opportunities, absolutely because we have players back there that can be special,” coach Doug Marrone said.’

‘”They stuck with me through two major injuries,” said Wood. “A lot of injuries are out of your control but for them to still have the confidence in me as a player to give me a deal meant a lot to me.”‘

‘”I was excited but I knew that I had to get to work right away on the Bengals to get a head start. I needed to get a jump on those guys and make sure I have a head start on the game plan.”‘

‘Whaley however wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility of trading Byrd before the NFL deadline on Oct. 29.’

‘The Bills (2-3) announced Thursday they have 5,300 tickets left for their game against the Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) on Sunday. The extension gives the Bills until Friday afternoon to sell the remaining tickets.’

‘Bengals 22, Bills 20.’

‘The Bills will have opportunities for takeaways and if Thad Lewis avoids losing the ball on Buffalo’s side of the field, the Bills have the running game to stick around. Cincinnati can suffocate with its pass rush and strong secondary, and will throw haymakers hoping to put Buffalo away early.’

‘”It’s a tough call,” Marrone said in regards to Johnson’s availability against the Bengals. “He’s working on getting treatment out there. I really don’t know until he comes back and we’re able to talk with him, see how he feels.”‘

‘Still with 5,300 tickets remaining for their upcoming contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills have been granted a 24-hour extension by the league to sell out the game and avoid the local blackout. The initial deadline throughout the weeks of a season is Thursday at 1 pm, but Buffalo was given an extended amount of time to move more inventory.’

‘The small, but electric pass catcher doubled as the team’s main kick returner, and even brought one opportunity back the length of the field for a touchdown during an exhibition game. Not only his season, but the Bills’ return game took a hit when Goodwin fractured a bone in his hand during the first contest of the year.’

‘The NFL has granted the Buffalo Bills a 24-hour extension to sell enough tickets to lift the local television blackout of the Sunday, October 13 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The team has until Friday at 1 p.m. to sell approximately 5,300 general tickets.’

‘Bengals 16, Bills 3.’
