‘“We understand it’s going to be big for Trent,” defensive end Jerry Hughes said, “so we want to go out there and take it to these guys. We want to let them know that he’s an extraordinary player, we’re happy to have him and we want to show them what he has brought to this team and what’s he’s brought to our D-line room.”’

Bills have a chance to get ground game right against Redskins
‘Bills 27, Redskins 13.’
Would the Bills consider adding competition for Josh Allen through the draft?
‘As a quarterback who does a lot of his damage on the ground, Jackson’s long-term viability is fair to wonder about, but he’s clearly outperformed Allen to this point of the season. It will be interesting to watch those two on the same field later this year at New Era Field.’
Mary Wilson on Ralph Wilson’s legacy, giving back to WNY and being a Bills fan
‘”I think it’s so amazing that I am here at this moment in time,” Mary said. “What Ralph brought here and what Ralph continues to bring here is truly mind-boggling to me.”‘
You don’t have to be a Bills fan at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern. But it helps
‘“When we first opened, we’d put (Washington) on one TV,” bar owner Jimmy Cirrito says. “Not anymore. We have 15 TVs and, when the Bills are playing, they are all Bills all the time. That’s just the way it is.”’
Bills had sand kicked in their faces last week; can they do the same against Washington?
‘“Well they’re human right?” he said when asked about the mood of the team. “We acknowledge that number one, but we also know that it’s a week-to-week league and the longer you wait around, you’re negative, you’re this or that, you don’t move forward. In this league, if you don’t move forward it’s going to linger. And so, it’s our job to move forward and address on Monday what we addressed and then move forward and be mentally tough and be physically tough and that’s how we do things around here.”’
Redskins at Bills: Is this the week Buffalo shows it can play well for a full 60 minutes?
‘Bills 20, Redskins 6.’
Can Bills bounce back against one-win Redskins?
‘“There’s lessons out there all the time that we can learn from, and so, as it relates to football, there’s teams every year that go through adversity that are able to keep their eyes on the target and fight through it. That’s what I expect we’ll continue to do. There’s going to be more adversity, that’s what comes with losses. There’s going to be more challenges some smaller, some bigger, (but) I expect us to continue to grow through those.”’
Bills focusing on rushing ‘D’ and giveaways
‘“We’ve got to stand up, we have to get it fixed and improve in that area and get to the point where they can’t be balanced on offense. That’s the goal. We’ll work towards that because teams will look at that and say, that’s what we need to do as well.”’
Buffalo Bills should be questioned for passing on WR Josh Gordon
‘Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane are in position to get the team to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons so you would think the Bills would be looking for ways to upgrade their roster. Yet, when the Bills had a chance to improve their wide receiver room, the team decided to pass on taking a flier on a talented wide receiver.’
Buffalo Bills release struggling DT Kyle Peko, sign Vincent Taylor off practice squad
‘Peko had his most snaps of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles last week and the Bills’ run defense got gashed for over 200 yards on the ground. Buffalo obviously felt the need to make a change after the disappointing showing against Philadelphia. The Eagles had struggled to run the ball effectively all season before that game. They doubled their rushing total against the Bills from the previous game against the Dallas Cowboys.’

Redskins at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘With Washington quarterback Case Keenum still in concussion protocol, rookie Dwayne Haskins will make his first NFL start Sunday in Orchard Park. The first round pick from Ohio State has seen action in two games this season, going 12-for-22 for 140 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions. The Bills enter the game with the third-ranked pass defense in the NFL, both in yards per game (194.4) and yards per pass (5.62). Head coach SeanMcDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier need to confuse and then smother the rookie and give him no chance.’
