'“He’s a gritty player, tough, physical player,” said defensive end Stephon Tuitt, who figures to see plenty of Incognito when the Steelers face the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday. “When you play guys like that, you have to make sure you strap your helmet.”'

'"This experience right here could be the start of something new," Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. "That's what we're trying to do, is to take seize of it right now, this opportunity that we have."'

'Steelers, 28-17.'

'“He’s what you want waiting on the runway,” Bills offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said, insinuating that having a player of his caliber as a developmental quarterback that you’re waiting on is the ideal scenario.'

'“Everyone knows, to play this position, you’ve got to have thick skin,” said third string quarterback Cardale Jones. “No one mentioned it, it’s the first I’ve ever heard of it. No one feeds into the outside.”'

'“We’ve just got to tighten up,” said McCoy. “I think that’s the biggest thing is tighten up on offense, defense, special teams. What I mean by that is play well together collectively. That’s the biggest thing. Run the ball well. We’ve got to make those plays where when the offense stalls out and it needs somebody to pick it up, someone makes a play. Then just turnovers and penalties. Those things you can’t have. You’ve got to run the ball well in December and play good defense and you can’t have turnovers and your special teams have to play well.”'
