'Rex Ryan kept his team focused for the whole game and the penalties were down. A solid win to keep them alive.'

'Kudos to the Bills' offensive coaching staff for a game-plan that flummoxed a defense allowing just 8.8 points per game over the past month. Taylor and LeSean McCoy moved the chains consistently with a zone-read attack. Watkins torched promising rookie cornerback Kevin Johnson, who was yanked after allowing two deep balls and a pair of touchdowns in the first half. J.J. Watt was kept relatively in check, going without a sack while managing just one tackle for a loss. The Texans simply aren't a playoff team unless the defense dominates.'

'Tied at 21 at the two-minute warning, Tyrod Taylor found a wide open Charles Claydown the seam with 1:53 remaining and he waltzed into the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown to put Buffalo ahead for good.'

'“Those guys put a ton of trust in me, after the drop, to come back and give me a chance to make another play,” said Clay. “Tyrod trusted me in that situation. He put that ball on the money. Those are the hardest ones to complete when a guy is wide open, hardest one to catch too. I feel like I did a pretty good job of trying to put the drop behind me. I have a lot of teammates, like Richie (Incognito) telling me that I’ll make up for it. For them to come back to me meant a lot.”'

'It’s easy when you just tell the truth and that was it. We hadn’t played our best game in all three phases and maybe it wasn’t today or whatever. But I know the effort was gonna be there. It’s always been there. We had to play smarter and the penalties, I saw they had 10 and we had five, I believe is what it was.'
