'"On behalf of all of the winners, the Buffalo Bills fans, John, we want to give you this Buffalo Bills jersey…" He added, "I hope you'll be wearing it early and often."'

'While Dareus undoubtedly feels like he's in a better place, it's important for him to note the process is ongoing. He said he would enter rehab but didn't end up going that route. This latest slip-up is not his first since he entered the league, but it needs to be his last. Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon put his career in jeopardy with similar slip-ups , and the Bills have invested a great deal of money in Dareus.'

'After four games, the linebacker is leading the league in tackles (52). He's on pace to shatter his career-high in tackles (93).'

'"I think it just kind of flipped a switch for us. It lit a fire in our belly. That's when things got real and we started looking around at each other and said, 'Now we have to make this work.' Now we're changing coordinators, now it's on us. It's on players. I think that's what helped us lock in, it sort of galvanized us and helped us really turn the corner on the 0-2 season. It's been two wins in a row. It's had a positive effect."'

'"There's so many things I admire about Mr. Trump, but one thing I really admire about him is—you know what—he'll say what's on his mind," Ryan said. "And so many times, you'll see people—a lot of people—want to say the same thing. But there's a big difference: They don't have the courage to say it. They all think it, but they don't have the courage to say it. And Donald Trump certainly has the courage to say it."'

'"I never knew the guy. I never even saw him. That was what was said to me, so I made the comment. I'm like, uh, after watching him, oh, I want to take that back. You know me, I make some comments that aren't really good. That's one of them. This guy's ridiculous. I'll be honest. He reminds me of John Randle. His quickness, change of direction is unusual. You just don't see it. Yeah, that probably wasn't the smartest comment of all time."'

'"Some days yes, some days no," Incognito said. "The guys in the locker room don't let it go. I'm forever the bully. On the sideline of the Patriots game, fans are yelling, 'You're a bully! You're a bully!'"'

'“We’re excited about having Dareus in,” Ryan said. “Everybody’s excited to have him back.”'

'“Tough to watch,” Dareus said. “But the guys kept me in the loop.”'

'“I’ve made a lot of dumb comments in my days,” Ryan said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. “That’s probably right up there at the top.”'

'“I didn’t forget about it,” the former Pitt standout said. “It is what it is. It’s not a big deal to me, but I remember what he said.”'

'“He’s a healthy Russell Wilson,” Fisher said of the Bills’ Tyrod Taylor.'

'"I'm just happy with what I did over the four weeks. I really was proactive," Dareus said. "I'm really optimistic of the future."'

'"Yeah, I remember that," Donald said Wednesday after practice. "I remember when I heard about them. I didn't forget about what he said, but it is what it is. Ain't no big deal to me. But I remember what he said."'

'Dareus will certainly be activated, while Henderson's status is very much in the air, so the Bills may have to make only one roster move before the game, and it seems likely that cutting running back Reggie Bush might be the move.'
