Two Bills Drive

'Broncos, 31-21.'

'Lawson suffered a nerve contusion in his foot in Sunday’s 9-3 loss to the Panthers, but both he and head coach Sean McDermott indicated they are confident he will play Sunday. Glenn is dealing with an injured foot. Both players were held out of practice Wednesday.'

'New Era's official "Circle The Wagon" vehicle, a horse-drawn wagon, will make stops along Abbott Road, handing out "Circle the Wagons" patches to fans.'

'There will also be a designated “Keep Cool” tent, with lemonade, sunscreen, and eye blacks provided.'

'Sunny, hot, 85 degrees. Bottled water for this game is discounted to only $3 a bottle. Fans are encouraged to stay hydrated by drinking water and please drink responsibly.'

'“He’s a good quarterback. When I was in Carolina a year ago, we went against Trevor [in the] opening game of the season last year. He’s smart, very intelligent player… I think those around the league that know the league, know what he’s capable of doing,” Sean McDermott said.'

'In fairness, Carolina has an impressive defense and it was the home opener. After two games, the Panthers lead the NFL in fewest total yards, passing yards and points surrendered (Buffalo is second, second and fourth in those categories). But it’s worth wondering whether Carolina’s stats are inflated merely because one of its two games was against the Bills’ struggling attack.'

'It's easy and perhaps more comforting to conclude that a week after dominating the New York Jets' defensive front to the tune of 190 yards on the ground (110 by McCoy), the Bills' offensive line simply was overmatched by more talented defensive linemen and linebackers. Coach Sean McDermott chose to go that route Wednesday when he told reporters, "I think, really, when you look a week ago against the Jets, how we controlled the line of scrimmage … this is one game. That’s life sometimes in the NFL."'

'It's true. The Bills have established a standard that would be difficult to meet in any event. But several factors are conspiring against them approaching their running numbers of 2015-16, when they ran for 5,062 yards (158 per game) on 1,001 carries, a hefty 5.1 yards a rushing attempt.'

'“Oh, probably more than that. Yes, I can certainly see it,” Hughes said, praising head man Sean McDermott for “doing a great job” of putting players in positions that best suit their individual strengths. “I really don’t have a number in mind. But, oh yeah (I can do 10). Absolutely. In a 4-3, I’m in the trenches. I feel a lot more at home. A lot more comfortable.”'

'Officers from the Moreno Valley Police Department responded to the report of a shooting at 12:44 a.m. Sunday within the 28000 block of Lexington Way. Wright confirmed to The Buffalo News on Wednesday that he owns the home where the shooting occurred, and that it’s occupied by his mother, sister and brother.'

'"I am concerned," McDermott said. "It's day to day at this point and we've got to make sure that we have a contingency plan in place."'

'Yeah, he’s got an ankle [injury] right now so he’s not going to practice today and we’ll know a little bit more going forward right now, but right now he’s not going to practice.'

'When the opponent is capable of offering far more resistance than the New York Jets did in the Bills' season-opening victory, LeSean McCoy can't always work from a conventional scheme that has him taking all or most of his handoffs from behind Tyrod Taylor. There has to be instances where, as he did the past two years, he lines up next to Taylor in shotgun formation and opposing defenders are left guessing about whether the quarterback is going to stick the ball in Taylor's belly or keep it himself.'
