‘Despite the season coming to a close after a tough loss in Jacksonville, many Buffalo Bills’ fans still showed up to greet their team at the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport Sunday night, just like they did one week ago after the team qualified for the pkaoffs for the first time in eighteen years.’

‘Sean McDermott is 2nd head coach in franchise history to take team to postseason in 1st full season (Wade Phillips in 1998).’

‘The only player ruled out already for the Bills is cornerback Shareece Wright, who is dealing with a concussion.’

‘“I got a letter this week from a first grade class wishing us luck. It’s truly been unbelievable to see the support for this team throughout the community.”’

‘Hyde finished the regualr season with a terrific stat line showing his versatility…’.

‘“I just want to be able to cut well enough where I don’t have a lot of pain when I’m cutting. I just want to be close, or the best, as far as 100-percent as I can get. But the type of game like this, man, you’ve got to lay it all on the line….If I can’t get 100-percent, as long as I’m out there and I can run effective enough, I’ll do it. So we’ll just see.”’

‘While many Bills fans have said they cried when the Bengals won and the drought officially ended at 17 seasons, I wasn’t emotional at all. For me it didn’t happen until I started seeing videos of celebrations from Bills fans across the country. The first one I saw was from fans watching the end of the Bengals-Ravens game in a concourse at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Since the Bills game ended first, they had stayed to watch the outcome and learn the Bills fate. They exploded when Boyd ran into the end zone. I couldn’t help but get choked up because that was the moment I realized what Bills fans everywhere were feeling. This wasn’t just an amazing moment for Western New York.’

‘“We’re real cool,” White said of his fellow rookie. “He was my teammate for three years. The LSU thing goes deeper than football, it’s a brotherhood for life.”’

‘According to the Bills, it’s the first time in National Football League history a safety tandem have each earned Defensive Players of the Month honors in the same season. Poyer’s position-mate Micah Hyde won the award back in October.’

‘”I feel ok. Each day just trying to get better. It’s a big game, man, so I’m trying to get out there.”’

‘Housley has experienced what it’s like when things go well and he said, “I know the Buffalo fans and our community. You can see the energy that it’s bringing, not only to the Bills, but for us as well. It’s great that they finally broke that seal and got back in the playoffs.”’

‘For the Bills, LeSean McCoy, Matt Milano and Shareece Wright have all missed their second straight practice of the week. McCoy’s status has already been speculated to be a game-time decision with his ankle injury.’

‘“I’ve moved on from that,” Marrone said. “It’s been a while ago. They’re where they want to be and I’m where I want to be and we’re getting our team ready. I’m focused on my team and this game. That’s really all my focus is. My focus is not about what’s gone on in my past, whether it be Buffalo or Syracuse or New Orleans or the New York Jets or wherever I may have been.”’

‘Here’s the Wednesday injury report for the Bills and Jaguars…’.

‘“We’re just going to take it one day at a time right now,” McDermott said.’
