Even so, flights out of Buffalo have been subject to significant delays and cancellations throughout the day so far.’

Carucci Take2: Bills still living in land of the bizarre while looking to snap losing streak
‘The heavy support of a home crowd would figure to be at least somewhat compromised by the late move of the game, but on the plus side, the Bills’ passing offense should thrive while playing indoors.

‘”You’ve got to be able to learn from every experience whether you win or lose and then be able to apply it where it’s necessary,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “That’s what we’re trying to do every week. It’s no different if we had won the game with how we’ll be searching tape and trying to figure out things we’ve got to get better at because that’s what the opponent is doing.
