‘Peterman played as well as you could in the whiteout conditions at New Era Field. Peterman left the game after taking a helmet to helmet hit in the 3rd quarter. At the time the Bills led 7-0. Joe Webb came in relief at quarterback, and helped secure the win in overtime over the Colts.’

Bills win but my blood pressure skyrockets
‘What I saw was one of the worst decisions a Bills coach has ever made in my 28 years of watching this franchise. I was so disgusted with that punt that I spent the Colts drive thinking ‘it’ll serve you right if you lose this game’. Yes, the Bills did end up winning what was a must win game for them but it did not stop me from seeing red and I don’t mean the Bills uniforms.’
Capaccio: Bills-Colts: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘Here’s what you need to know. The Bills currently hold the sixth and final AFC playoff spot. Why? Because there are three teams tied at 7-6 and when that happens, head-to-head doesn’t matter unless all three teams played each other. Well, the Bills, Chargers, and Ravens haven’t all played each other. So then it goes to conference record, then common games (minimum of four), then strength of victory. Don’t worry about all of that just yet. Just look at the standings and know this thing is still alive.’
Taylor is a game-time decision

Bills’ starting quarterback still up in the air for Sunday; White, Glenn practice on limited basis

Brandon Reilly excited to join the active roster
‘”Going to use the first paycheck to pay off the rest of my student loans. Few more reps with 1st team offense. Reps at all three receiver positions. If they call my number I’m ready. Thankful coaches had confidence moving me up.”‘
Bills place Matthews and Lawson on IR
‘The Buffalo Bills have announced that both defensive end Shaq Lawson and wide receiver Jordan Matthews have been placed on injured reserve, ending their seasons. Lawson was considered week to week with an ankle sprain, while Matthews has been battling a knee injury for the last few weeks.’
Ledyard: “Mayfield has all the makings of a franchise quarterback”
‘”Not every team, but a lot of teams have a certain prototype in mind. I think it’s a foolish way to do things. Not going to overthink that Baker Mayfield has put up the two most efficient seasons in college football. He’s going to win the Heisman, very indicative of his performance. He’s a quick processor, quick release, but also has the arm to throw off platform. Nothing scares him as a quarterback, can create offense with his legs, not a whole lot he’s missing. Coaches are going to look at this guy and think, this is a guy I can go to war with. All the makings of a franchise quarterback.”‘

Taylor has a patella contusion, is day-to-day
‘Taylor’s status for next Sunday will be determined later in the week, but McDermott added that “when healthy, Tyrod is our starter.”‘
McDermott says Tyrod is his starter
‘”I don’t know if hurt is the right way to describe. He was working out there and he got banged on the first play, but he stayed in the game and he was communicating with us, we were communicating with him, and he was communicating with our medical staff.”‘
Eric Wood says Gronkowski hit was “classless”
‘”Our defense did an incredible job getting stops in the redzone, forcing them to score 3 when they did have drives especially in the first half. They gave us a chance and if we could’ve capitalized a couple times, taken a lead, it would’ve been a whole different story.”‘
Gronkowski suspended one game for hit on White
‘White is in the NFL’s concussion protocol as a result of the late and flagrant hit. Gronkowski will miss the next Patriots matchup against the Miami Dolphins next Monday night, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports he is expected to appeal the suspension.’
