'“(Last year) we lost to them, we thought we should have won the game, there were some contributing factors that went along with it, but we got beat, that’s just the way it is. What we’re trying to do now is just make sure we don’t get beat this game.”'

'When asked if his performance has surprised him, he allowed, “No, (but) that wasn’t my role … obviously it’s changed. It’s just week-to-week and I continue to try to be dominant, be productive, and disruptive. Now teams kind of have a book as far as what are my tendencies, what I like to do, how do I get to where I get to the quarterback.'

'QB Tyrod Taylor has 5 pass TDs vs. 2 INTs in past 4 at home. Leads NFL QBs with 401 rush yards. Since 2015, is only QB with 4,500+ pass yards (4,970) & 950+ rush yards (969).'

'NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Bills T Seantrel Henderson is facing a possible 10-Game Suspension for his second violation of the League’s substance abuse policy.'

'The Bills are going back to their blue jerseys – which they haven't worn in a month — along with white pants against the Jaguars.'

'The Bills would rather dwell on one bad call than the dreadful play of EJ Manuel in London. Manuel had one of the worst stretches imaginable by an NFL quarterback, coughing up a fumble and interception for touchdown returns on consecutive plays and throwing a pick to ex-Bill Paul Posluszny four players later.'

'If Doug Marrone is going down, he's going down punting.'

'"It kept a chip on my shoulder, but I’ve always worked hard, so that wasn't going to be any different. I'm here now, so it's all good. I'm happy."'

'Seriously, why did the Bills give that option to Marrone, which only kicked in if the ownership of the team changed hands? Was Marrone — after four mostly mediocre seasons as head coach at Syracuse — really that hot of a hire that his agent, the powerful Jimmy Sexton, could get that provision written into the deal? Two years later, it still seems ludicrous to me that the Bills’ decision-makers agreed to it.'

'Bills 26, Jaguars 17.'

'Jones was clearly invested during the game and following Ohio State's victory, the Bills rookie quarterback made sure to let Michigan fans hear about it.'

'Buffalo also made two other moves on Saturday. The team re-signed kickoff specialist Jordan Gay and released tight end Gerald Christian.'

'The Jaguars then selected Bortles third overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, one spot ahead of where the Bills traded up to selected wide receiver Sammy Watkins fourth-overall. In his lone game against the Bills in his career, last year’s 34-31 win, Bortles went 13-for-29, 182 passing yards, with two TDs, and one interception.'

'He is tied for the league lead with 13 interceptions and now has had 10 interceptions returned for touchdowns during his career. He makes too many mistakes and is unreliable late in games. The Jaguars have no choice but to hope he improves quickly, but there is little suggestion he will ever be more than a turnover-prone quarterback who uses late-game surges to be an awesome fantasy option. Not what you want from a former third-overall pick.'
