'Bills RB Karlos Williams one of four NFL rookies since 1960 to score TD in each of team's first four games.'

'When the schedule was released in April, I thought going 2-1 through the first three games would be a challenge, but doable for a talented Bills team. They did that. But the loss to the Giants in week four raises questions about exactly how good this team is. It’s tough for any team to lose their top running back and top wide receiver, but especially when those two players are big playmakers able to change games at any given moment. I still think the depth is solid with this roster and they can make a serious run at a playoff spot, even if Watkins and/or McCoy are out a few weeks.'

'Bills 23, Titans 13.'

'“I think, for us, it’s just everyone figuring each other out,” Hughes said Wednesday, as the Bills began full-scale preparations for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans. “For the defense, it’s just us understanding what our coaches want from us on the field. And, then, also understanding the scheme, so that way we can still go out there and play fast and be able to communicate with one another, so that way we’re all on the same page.”'

'Bills coach Rex Ryan indicated that the team releasing Gay had nothing to do with his performance on kickoffs, which means it must have something to do with field goals. Through four games, Carpenter is 5 of 7 with one missed extra point. One of the team’s current kickers could be released by the time the Bills travel to Tennessee for this weekend’s game. Linebacker IK Enemkpali is available for reinstatement after his four-game suspension.'

'“As long as you tackle well, that’s fine,” Ryan said. “You get off the field. That’s what it’s about. So if we don’t have a sack, that doesn’t matter to me. I want to win. You go back to the 2000 Ravens. They gave up 165 points on the season, which nobody’s been close to. I think we only had 35 sacks that year.'

'“It’s a huge opportunity,” Dixon said. “I’m putting in extra work. I’m just trying to take advantage of it. I feel like I’m born for this.”'

'"I don’t think the kids' gonna have his way against us; I don’t think that’s gonna happen," Ryan said when he was asked whether his defense needs to show a little pride Sunday in Tennessee and not let a rookie, playing his fourth NFL game, beat them.'

'"I shouldn't be missing kicks inside 40, it's as simple as that," Carpenter said matter-of-factly, with the full understanding that while he's been told everything is status quo for now, his job is on the line. "They have to be able to rely on someone to make those kicks."'

'Right now, Dixon is No. 1 on the Bills' running back depth chart. He's gotten this chance before. Last year, the Bills lost C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson in one game, forcing Dixon into an increased role. He ended up with his only 20-carry game in the NFL and turned it into just 44 yards. In 2015, on eight carries, Dixon has zero total rushing yards.'

'"(Cundiff) does have a strong leg, so he can handle kickoffs, and he's been a good kicker," Ryan said. "We'll see how everything plays out. Jordan, sometimes just carrying a kickoff guy sometimes isn't the best thing for your team. This move had nothing to do with Jordan. I think Jordan did a tremendous job in the role that he had. That doesn't mean we won't have Cundiff kick off and have Carpenter do our kicks."'

'Beckham, who threw a punch for which he wasn't flagged, has been fined $9,000 by the NFL, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.'

'"Just see how many people he is affecting," Ryan said. "That his actions are affecting. Penalties still gonna happen, but we have to eliminate them to the best of our abilities. Especially the self-inflicted ones."'
