'Hughes helped win the Bills the game against Arizona. The penalty was an awful one to take, but, it was merely an exception to the following rule: Hughes dominated the Arizona offensive line.'

'I’m still not sold on Rex Ryan, but on this day I have to give him his due. He totally out-coached counterpart Bruce Arians while guiding a team without three of its best players – Sammy Watkins, Cordy Glenn and Ronald Darby, each of whom watched the game in street clothes because of injury.'

'A huge win in a desperate situation with several big players being sidelined allows the fans to feel good for a week.'

'Buffalo’s running game resurfaced in a big way as they rolled up better than 200 yards on the ground under new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn. LeSean McCoy rushed more over 100 yards and had a pair of touchdowns in the victory, while Taylor rushed for 79.'

'“Yeah a couple of oddball formations,” said Tyrod Taylor. “Definitely (makes it harder) for the defense. They can’t (hide things) as easy bringing in different personnel, lined up in different formations. It just keeps them unbalanced. But at the same time we’re calling our regular offense, we’re just moving out of different formations. But I think Coach Lynn did a good job of that mixing it in early against their defense.”'

'“This package was totally different,” Bills safety Corey Graham said. “It was something that nobody had seen from us. Rex, Rob and Dennis Thurman did a great job putting together something that nobody expects because you’ve never seen us do it. And it worked out for us. It was a good package, good play-calling and we tip our caps to the coaches.”'

'Yeah, oh no it’s tempo. I knew we would run the ball well because he’s big on that. The urgency to get in and out of the huddle. Get up on the ball. There were some times where we would snap the ball when they were just kind of lining up and that helps out. Defenses can’t structure their blitzes how they want. They can’t see what formations we’re in so they can line up everything and get it correct. You know, cause defense, all that is, is they just react to the offense. Okay the ball goes left, they react to the left. So when they line up they try to find out who’s who, they have their keys, when you snap the ball fast it’s kinda hard to get everything together. I don’t know if you noticed, but we ran some quick two-minute type of plays early in the game, so there is a lot of different things to prepare for.'

'“I’m just going to go in there and expect to play my game,” said Robert Woods. “I always approach the game like I’m a number one receiver. I’ve just got to step up and make plays. I may get a few more targets, so I’ve got to be an open target.”'
