'“If Gronkowski scores more than one touchdown,” Troup said, “I’m probably going to get 10-15 tweets. My mom tells me not to pay it any mind. But it’s hard, man, because of the whole situation.”'

'“I know he’s frustrated,” Ryan said. “He was doing really well. Kind of had a setback, but we’re not sure how much that’s going to set him back.”'

'If it comes down to it, Tyrod Taylor has to deliver in a shootout. Yes, he is only making his seventh career start in the NFL. No, he has not been given to putting up gaudy passing numbers.

'Ryan provided the prognosis following practice Saturday after revealing Williams experienced a setback in his recovery.'

'Guard Richie Incognito was limited Saturday and is questionable with a shoulder injury, but head coach Rex Ryan said he expects him to play.'

'What’s fun than playing in one primetime game? Playing primetime games two weeks in a row! We’re starting to get used to this under-the-lights stuff. And we’re staying with the monochromatic uniform theme! Let’s hope recent history repeats itself.'
