Two Bills Drive

'The running backs had 14 yards on 15 carries. LeSean McCoy carried it 12 times for 9 yards. Mike Tolbert had 5 yards on 3 rushes. That's 15 carries for 14 yards by the team's two "tailbacks." I hesitate to call Tolbert a tailback because he's a fullback by trade and masquerading as a tailback in Buffalo.'

'“When they play that style of defense, you have to be able to consistently attack with the passing game,” Garrett told reporters. "We really needed to have success throwing the ball. We were not able to do that."'

'"I just wanted the loot, baby!" McCoy said as reporters burst out laughing in the media room. "No, it wasn't like that. It just happened. It had nothing to do with the extra loot."'

'In Carolina, the Buffalo defensive tackle received an overall PFF grade of +1.0 on just 18 snaps – he suffered an ankle injury early in the game but returned in the second half. That was the sixth-highest grade of all 17 Bills defenders who saw the field in Week 2.'

'Rex Ryan likely would've started Matt Cassel that season. If he quarterbacked the team to a worse record than the 8-8 they achieved under Taylor (and some of EJ Manuel), the Bills would've owned a higher draft pick, but Cleveland owned their first-rounder that year anyway. The only top-level quarterbacks in that class, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, went 1-2 … but one quarterback available later in the draft was Trevor Siemian, who ended up in Denver and will start this weekend against the Bills.'

'The most famous of Von Miller's 82 career sacks (counting playoffs) was his strip-sack of Cam Newton (1) in Super Bowl 50 that produced a Denver touchdown. What makes Miller's speed rush so devastating is his ability to dip his inside shoulder low to the ground like a speed skater, which gives the offensive tackle a small target to hit. Then Miller bends his hips back and drives to the QB.'

'Broncos 24, Bills 20.'

'But despite this universally accepted, undeniable and easily provable scientific fact, some people still choose to wrongly believe that our planet is flat. They are called flat-earthers, and you can join their society with a $12 donation.'

'"I became a Bills fan when I was really little," Lisi explained. "My dad would always listen to Bills games on the radio because they wouldn’t sell out in time to be on television. So, I heard a lot of Van Miller and Stan Barron growing up. I remember going to my first game when I was seven and saw the Bills beat down the Jets."'

'In 1961, Billy Atkins led the AFL with 10 interceptions. However, he did not return any for a touchdown, with his longest return going 29 yards. Here is where it gets fun: He had a 39-yard field goal that year, as well as a 56-yard rushing touchdown — the only touchdown of his career. Yet, he had more interceptions than he had rushing attempts (2) that season.'

' “I’m going to be in that position again, maybe even this week, farther down the line, but when my time comes I’ll be prepared and I’ll make that catch,’’ said Jones as he addressed the media on Wednesday at the team’s practice facility.'

'“He’s got an ankle right now, won’t practice today,” coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday morning. “It’s a sprain, that’s what we know today. I am concerned, but it’s day-to-day at this point. We have to make sure we have a contingency plan in place.”'

'"I think you're going to get a little bit of a bigger sample size, if that makes sense," Matthews said. "You guys study football. I don't think there's been any big, like, receiving games through the first two weeks of the season. And I watch, so I know that, for a fact. So I think you need to give it a little more time before you start saying, you know, what's what and who's who, if that makes sense."'

'"I hadn't heard that yet," McCoy said. "I guess he gets blamed for everything. I don't think so. Tyrod's a hell of a player, man. He makes plays. Without him, we would have had no shot last week. He made some plays when things weren't blocked well and he got out of it."'

'In addition to Dareus and Glenn, defensive end Shaq Lawson will not practice on Wednesday due to a nerve contusion. McDermott said he is considered day-to-day. The Bills are also giving rest days to both LeSean McCoy and Lorenzo Alexander. Defensive tackle Jerel Worthy is still in the concussion protocol.'
