‘“We played them toward the end of the season (barely two weeks ago) in a short time frame,” Buffalo’s offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said. “Obviously we’re going to be matched up against them Saturday night so there’s some familiarity with the players and the matchups, but schemes change and each game is its own game particularly against a team like (the Patriots).”’

Upon Further Review: Secondary’s show of solidarity after division-clinching win speaks volumes
‘”I grind out for these guys on and off the field any day of the week and even No. 27 right here. So it just goes to show, Micah and I’ve been here five years, Levi, four, Taron four, Dane two.
