‘“Getting back out here and polishing up the small things,” Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir said. “Doing the small things the right way. Our fundamentals, our technique. When you get out there, bullets get to flying, so fall back on your fundamentals. That’s been the kind of thing we’ve been stressing when we get out here. Catching, blocking, running to the ball, helping our teammates up. Just those little things that we were kinda missing out on Saturday.”’

Bills running game was a disaster vs Bears, but they aren't concerned. Should they be?
‘“So, that’s where the challenge comes in. We’ve got to embrace that challenge. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ll look at the film, obviously, and it’ll hit us right in the face in terms of what we didn’t do well, and that was a big one right there.
