'"It's no different than any other week," he said. "That's the honest-to-goodness truth. Now the reason they say obsessed, I want what they have. They've won some rings or whatever. I ain't kissing them, but I respect them. I admire the fact that they've been that successful through the years. But that's what I'm chasing. I want to win, man. I mean that's as simple as that. If you really want to be the very best then you've got to go ahead and beat this team. You got to find ways to beat them and that's what drives me. I don't want to just beat some – you know, local school. West Seneca High School."'

'“I’m still just progressing, working on some of the things that can be touched up,” Taylor said. “My game definitely isn’t perfect, I’m striving each and every day to get better as a pocket passer, being a leader, being a guy the offense leans on, everything."'

'After another follow-up, Ryan told the reporter to do his homework, which prompted the question: Why are you mad at us?'

'"I have a history with them, but I mean of course they want to bury me," Ryan said to Buffalo reporters on Thursday. "I mean no question they want to beat me. But this is nothing to do with me, it has something to do with our team. You know yeah they want to put us away, there is no question. When you look at it from their perspective, right now we are second in the division. So it is like of course they are going try to do whatever they can, just like we are going to do whatever we can."'

'"With somebody like (Tom) Brady, no matter who they put out there he knows who to go to and where to put the ball and it’s still going to be a tough challenge. It doesn’t matter who they have at receiver as long as they have number 12 out there he’s going to get the job done so we’ve got to bring our ‘A’ game."'

'"I try not to worry about it," said Williams, who has five touchdowns rushing and two receiving in between missing three games because of a concussion. "I'll be blessed that it keeps happening. But if it doesn't, then that's fine. I just want to go out there and get a win."'

'"I know we have improved as a football team," said Ryan, whose club has won three of four on the road. "How much have we improved? We are going to find out on Monday."'

'"Does (winning) give us an opportunity to win the division? No," Ryan said matter-of-factly. "They are going to win the division. I don't see them losing four games, you know, in the upcoming things. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it happening."'

'"Just in camp," said McCoy. "I mean the plays he's made. Bigger back. A lot of bigger backs aren't as explosive as Karlos. Karlos has explosion to him and he does different things outside of the box. So he can do a lot and I mean G-Ro (offensive coordinator Greg Roman) will really utilize him in the best ways."'

'Patriots 26-19.'

'"Of course they want to bury me," Ryan said Thursday. "No question they want to beat me. But this is nothing to do with me, it's something to do with our team. Yeah, they want to put us away, there's no question. When you look at it from their perspective, right now we're second in the division, so of course they're gonna try to do whatever they can.'

'Then, when asked if he’s obsessed with the Super Bowl champions, he said, although it’s “no different than any other week…..I want what they have. They’ve won some rings or whatever. I won’t be kissing them, but I respect them. I admire the fact they’ve been that successful through the years, but that’s what I’m chasing.”'

'Patriots 30, Bills 24.'
