Two Bills Drive

‘Rookie coach Gregg Williams claimed last week that he hoped he didn’t have to make a decision until Thanksgiving on the full-time starter.

"I think Denver has shown it doesn’t matter who the running back is," Bills’ offensive coordinator Mike Sheppard told the Buffalo News. "Olandis Gary does a great job when Terrell Davis goes out.

Over 500 bikers participated in the event benefitting Salvation Army with former Bills quarterback, Jim Kelly and current tight end, Sheldon Jackson among the crowd. Riders paid $25 per person or $35 per couple.
