Two Bills Drive

A quiet leader, Lewis, who played in the 1981 Pro Bowl, retired prior to the ’84 season. His Buffalo numbers: Six seasons, 269 catches, 4,638 yards and 24 touchdown receptions. For his 13-year career: 397 catches, 6,724 yards and 41 touchdowns.

‘Moorman has been a force for the Bills, leading the NFL with a 47.8-yard average on 21 punts.’

‘Word from the locker room is that former New England Patriot football hero Drew Bledsoe has picked up a big antique farm in upstate New York where he and the brood will settle now that No. 11’s the Buffalo Bills’ No. 1 guy. Of course, Drew is still carrying the mortgage on the manse in Medfield, which is on the market for nearly $9 million but hasn’t found a buyer yet. Don’t fret, Bledsoe makes the big bucks, he can afford the two payments.’

‘"When you’ve got Drew Bledsoe, and he’s putting the ball up 50 times, you know he’s going to connect on some of them," Miller said. "As an offense we have to keep pace with them and find a way to put points on the board."’

‘Williams, 44, spent nine years in Houston, beginning in 1988 when he was a graduate assistant under Jack Pardee at the University of Houston. In 1990, Williams followed Pardee to the Oilers. Over the next seven seasons, he worked in quality control and coached special teams and linebackers before he was promoted to defensive coordinator.’

‘The Texans still have the worst offense in the NFL.’

Fourth-year wide receiver Peerless Price recorded his second 100-yard game of the season and the seventh of his career in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Price caught 7 balls for 126 yards and a TD to give him 35 receptions for 493 yards and 4 TDs through five games this season.

‘The only thing that catches your eye more than the fact that Buffalo is scoring over 32 points per game is that it’s surrendering an NFL-worst 36.’

‘Coach Bill Callahan coaxed another inspired effort from his players. He and his staff devised solid game plans that kept the Bills off-balance and produced strong showings from offense, defense and special teams. His players overcame penalties, dropped passes, missing starters, a sold-out crowd and Bledsoe. Grade: A-‘

‘Buchanon is having the time of his life. Despite getting burned on coverages in the first half, Buchanon intercepted Drew Bledsoe in the fourth quarter and returned the ball 81 yards for a touchdown. He also batted down two passes.’

‘OVERALL GRADE: A-

Here’s all you need to know: at 18 points down, the Bills thought they played well.’

‘According to figures compiled by Nielsen Media Research and WIVB-TV, the CBS affiliate, ratings for Bills’ games are up 30.5 percent from a year ago.’

Moulds & Price rank 1-2 in the NFL in receiving yards with 525 and 493, respectively. Moulds is also #1 in the NFL in receptions with 41 and Peerless is #2 in the AFC and tied for third in the NFL with 35 receptions (St. Louis’ Marshall Faulk 38 and Tory Holt 35). Moulds leads the NFL with 15 catches (255 yards) on third down and is also #1 in the league in catches for first downs with 27 (Price is second in the NFL with 25).

‘The Bills are on pace to give up 576 points, which would smash the team record of 454 and the NFL mark of 533.’

‘You knew the defense had its shortcomings, but did anyone think they would be on pace to break the National Football League record for points allowed in a season?’
