Two Bills Drive

‘Life should get a little easier this week with the Bills coming to town which means the Chiefs should be 8-0 heading into their bye week.’

‘The home team has won eight of the last nine Chiefs-Bills contests.’

‘Now is your chance to ask Buffalo’s top back a question!’

‘Buffalo Bills running back Travis Henry is among the finalists for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honors.’

‘Williams is looking for work and what better place to resume his NFL career than in his own backyard.’

‘In his fourth outstanding effort in four weeks, the linebacker had 12 tackles and a sack in a 17-10 victory over Oakland on Monday night that kept the Chiefs unbeaten.’

‘Dick Vermeil is 3-0 vs. the Bills, making them the only team he has faced three or more times and has never lost against…Bills QB Drew Bledsoe is 0-3 in his three previous visits to Arrowhead Stadium…’.

‘If Buffalo is a playoff team, it has to win at either Kansas City or Dallas, then take three of the next four.’

‘Buffalo might not be back on track for the season, but it’s not sunk, either. The Bills ran the ball effectively against the Redskins, a first this season. They grabbed an early lead, the way they did against New England and Jacksonville. They dominated the line of scrimmage, unlike their games against Miami, Philadelphia and the Jets.’

‘Hall of Fame Coach Marv Levy has been signed to be an analyst for the signature show on the NFL Network that will premiere on DIRECTV on Nov. 4.’

‘Mostly, though, the Bills said they discovered something very important about themselves: They’re not good enough to win on talent alone.’

‘The Drew Factor is huge here. He’s 1-6 in his last seven road games. Can this guy win a big game on the road? I have my doubts.’

‘The Bills offense will be playing against a somewhat suspect defense, but it will have to do so in one of the noisiest stadiums in the NFL.’

‘The Bills took advantage of overly aggressive pursuit by the Redskins’ linebackers to beat them with draws and delays. Travis Henry not only strung out the front seven, then turned the corner and ran through tacklers, he also moved well between the tackles. Very little pressure was put on quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Cornerback Champ Bailey had a rare off day and looked as if his broken wrist was getting worse, especially on tackles, instead of better. The Redskins also bit on a play-action, rollout pass and the result was a 10-year touchdown pass for Bledsoe. Those who do not remember their history are doomed to repeat it.’

‘”I think so,” cornerback Antoine Winfield said when asked if the team was going through a confidence crisis. “I think it started in the second half of the Miami game. After that, the last three or four games, we’ve just been in a lull. This game got us back on track.”‘
