Two Bills Drive

‘When the Kansas City Chiefs came to Buffalo in January to face the Bills in the playoffs, Bernard was dealing with an ankle injury. He did not practice the week leading up to the divisional matchup, but still he was listed as questionable for the game and tried to take the field. Ultimately, he was unable to play. He instead watched the game as he gave as much information to his teammates as he could about what he was seeing on the field.’

‘“It was an amazing experience and I learned so much,” Shurmur told me after emerging from a staff meeting Thursday night. “It really opened my eyes to playing the quarterback position in a place like Kansas City, which has always had a rich quarterback culture.”’

‘Kincaid will miss the second game of his two-year career; he sat out last October’s win over the New York Giants with a concussion.’

‘“This is a big deal,” said Nantz in a telephone interview. “That show is about 50 years old overall and to my knowledge − and if I don’t know no one else would − they’ve never taken the show on the road for a regular season game.”’

‘Most of the cost overruns are a product of market conditions – increasing prices for materials, like structural steel, and for workforce, according to the team.’

‘I’m a big Kansas City Chiefs fan. In my defense, I am from Kansas. Like, famously from Kansas.’

‘Beane and McDermott demanded that their guys practiced and played at a playoff level each and every day, not just in big games. The new attitude helped the team stay determined and disciplined, and Buffalo has dominated the AFC East as perennial NFL contenders since then.’
