'Total team effort in the win.'

'McCoy spearheaded the Buffalo effort with three rushing touchdowns and 140 yards on the ground and the Bills offense went four for four in the red zone. Their 45 points scored was Buffalo’s highest total since scoring 49 on Nov. 21, 2010 at Cincinnati.'

'“He’s phenomenal,” Bills center Eric Wood said. “He’s a great back. The longer we play with him, the more comfortable we are all getting with each other’s style. And he is hitting it right now. He is hitting holes and playing extremely well.”'

'“That was huge,” said Lorenzo Alexander. “We had an all-out blitz on both of those plays. It was pretty much who was going to be more physical? You knew they wanted to run the ball and try to convert there to keep themselves in the game. They were still in striking distance at that point and we pretty much stood up and balled out on that and made both tackles.”'

'I’m just going to be honest with you. You know last year I played okay. I was hurt, you know. Instead of sitting out and not playing I would rather go out there and be 75-80% and that’s how I am, that’s how I’ve been. And another thing, it’s the guys up front. I mean, they’re really getting their blocks. They’re hitting every time. There’s not a favorite left or right, they’re all blocking together.'

'And today, they’re more than a touchdown favorite over the 49ers (1-4) who, after an impressive win over Los Angeles in the opener, have lost four straight.'

'“(It’s) way behind me,” he said of his outburst. “I think it was more just the team than Chip. Going back to my old team where I did so much there … I got there at 20 years old. I was there for quite some time so I think more it had to do with just going back home. My hometown is an hour away … (it was) more than just dealing with Chip.'

'Can Lorenzo Alexander and the pass rush keep it up? The outside linebacker leads the NFL with seven sacks, which would have made you a rich person if you bet that in Vegas before the season. As a team, the Bills have 17 sacks through Week Five. The franchise record through six games is 21, set in 2013.'

'Bills quarterback Jim Kelly and his 49ers counterpart, Steve Young, both threw for more than 400 yards in a performance reminiscent of their USFL duels. While 400 yards has become more commonplace in today’s pass-happy NFL, it was a rarity in 1992. In fact, there wasn’t a single other 400-yard passing performance that entire season, by any quarterback.'

'"For sure, that's way behind me," McCoy said. "I’ve never had a real issue with him. You know, some things we didn’t see eye-to-eye. I mean that’s tons of players and coaches. I think ours is more vocal and kinda immediate which is different from other players, but I have no issue with him."'

'Will Kaepernick’s message gain volume if he plays well and turns around San Francisco’s season? Will it be muted if the 49ers, who are 1-4, continue to lose?'

'Bills 31, 49ers 16.'

'"If you look at the Bills right now, Doug Whaley is the GM. These two guys work together and some of these draft picks, right? Preston Brown, Ronald Darby you go through the names that these guys have brought in, players like Nickell Robey-Coleman, a guy that we just had on the show."'

'In short, Kap lacks touch on his passes. That became more pronounced, and more noticeable, in the final year of head coach Jim Harbaugh’s brief reign, 2011-14. The issue became chronic under Jim Tomsula’s one-year tutelage, 2015.'
