McCoy & Gore thrived in snow on a brutal day

‘“I slip here and there and there were some cuts I missed on but, for the most part, I was running and cutting. I was stopping, where other guys were slipping. Maybe it’s because I know I’m going to get the ball a lot so I just try to play extra good.”’

Bills find a way to conquer snow and the Colts

‘”We weren’t even standing on the field,” Davis said. “We were standing on top of the snow. And I’m putting my hand down on ice. I’m like, ‘I don’t even know how I’m going to come off the ball against this tight end and this tackle.’ I remember a few times out there I wasn’t even in a three-point stance. I was standing up because I felt like I was better equipped, had better leverage just standing up and then coming off the ball.”‘

‘Toughest people in the world’ watch resilient Bills win in OT

‘Roughly eight inches of snow fell during the game, according to Major. The Bills, taking their cues from the NFL and the officiating crew, assembled a team of 20 men with gas-powered blowers to clear the yard lines and hash marks before the game and during each break in the action. Still, players had to use their feet to clear the spot from where kicks were attempted.’

Joe Webb takes advantage of rare second chance in Bills’ win

‘Instead of playing a big role in the victory, Webb was nearly the main reason for what would have been a damaging loss. He made a poor pass intended for tight end Charles Clay that was intercepted by Chiefs safety Matthias Farley with 52 seconds left in regulation. The Colts, however, couldn’t capitalize on the takeaway when Adam Vinatieri’s 43-yard field goal missed wide left with 1 second left.’

Jerry Sullivan: Shady saves the day in the snow

‘History suggested he was due. McCoy has a thing for the snow. In 2013, with the Eagles, he played in a similar snow game against the Lions. He broke the Philly rushing record with 217 yards that day, including two long TD runs in a 34-20 win over the Lions. That game also occurred in Week 14 and helped Philadelphia sneak into the playoffs.’

Bucky Gleason: Taylor will be ready and willing to play Dolphins, but is he able?

‘”Through the highs and lows, we were able to keep our focus,” Taylor said. “There were so many ups and downs in the game. It just so happened that it was toward the end of the game. I have tremendous confidence in the guys in that locker room. Today, they went out and played their hearts out.”‘

Tim Graham: Stephen Hauschka empathizes with inspiration Adam Vinatieri on tough day for kickers

‘”What better place to play against probably the best of all-time, one of the great clutch players this game has known,” Hauschka said at his locker stall, “than here in the snow?”‘

Bills Notebook: Punter-long snapper pairing on point; Kelvin Benjamin’s comeback cut short

‘“It was wild. Obviously you can’t really prepare for that,” said Schmidt, who used several Aussie-style punts. “That was by far the craziest weather I’ve played in here. It’s one of those things that, especially coming here, you know that those types of games can happen. You almost dream of them and embrace them because they’re so wild and crazy and out of the ordinary. It was awesome.”’

Vic Carucci’s Take Five: Bills do all that was necessary to beat lowly Colts

‘McCoy finished with 156 yards on 32 carries, giving him an average of 4.9 yards per rush. He handled the slippery conditions better than anyone on the field, something he also had done as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.’

Jay Skurski’s 10 observations from the Bills’ ridiculous overtime win over Colts

‘Those in attendance will have an incredible story to tell. The snow accumulating in feet was one thing, but the utterly bananas number of wild plays at the end of the game made this one extra, uh, special.’

Bills-Colts Matchup Winners: Star RBs, Colton Schmidt were clutch

‘”That was the hardest kick because at least the hashes were semi-scraped off, Schmidt said. “But in the end zone there was like a foot and a half of snow. I know when I kicked the ball I had to kick through some snow. That was weird.”‘

Ten Plays that Shaped the Game: Thompson big in OT

‘Thompson beat cornerback Kenny Moore down the right sideline. The pass from Webb was a tad behind him, but Thompson leaped and snatched the ball out of the air, despite the fact Moore grabbed his midsection, drawing a pass interference penalty.’

Jay Skurski’s Bills-Colts Report Card: LeSean McCoy’s brilliance helps overcome shaky coaching call

‘Sean McDermott’s decision to punt on fourth and 1 at the Colts’ 41-yard with 4:13 left in overtime was an abomination. Yes, the defense got a stop and the Bills were able to get the winning points, but the amount of things that had to go right for that to happen is a lot more difficult than getting 3 feet. A tie would have basically eliminated the Bills from the playoff race, and that looked like what McDermott was coaching for. Think back to the Week 4 win in Atlanta, when the defense had 10 guys on the field for a crucial play at the end of the game, and McDermott has been extremely lucky to have had things go his way in those games. He would be taking an avalanche of criticism if those plays turned out differently. Having Webb throw as much as he did in regulation also is easy to second guess.’

Fourth quarter analysis: Against all odds, Bills pull out win in The Snow Game of 2017

‘The Colts went for the two-point conversion to win the game and connected, but an offensive pass interference penalty on former Buffalo Bill Kamar Aiken moved the ball back and forced a 43-yard extra point, which Adam Vinatieri squeaked through.’

Third quarter analysis: Nathan Peterman injured as Bills hold 7-point lead

‘Peterman dove head-first on a keeper and was hit by linebacker Antonio Morrison and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins as he went to the ground. Teammates immediately called for trainers and a brief shoving match ensued. There was no foul called on the hit.’
