Two Bills Drive

‘Rob Johnson’s two carpe diem-like game-winning drives in the fourth quarter, which included his gutsy 12-yard run with three minutes, six seconds to play, sealed, in the words of John Butler, a great, great win for the Buffalo Bills organization.’

‘Who says Rob Johnson can’t scramble?’

‘Rob Johnson can win, too.’

‘The Bills are 4-3 in AFC games and 2-3 in the AFC East. Kansas City is 4-4 in the AFC. The Bills have little room for error, the Chiefs have none.’

‘The most obvious is that he is sacked too often. He’s the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, which isn’t all his fault. It’s true that he holds the ball longer than he should, especially on third down when he tries too often to make the perfect play.’

‘"A lot of people take their shots at Ronnie, but they don’t understand that he had a lot of young guys to work with when he got here," special teamer Raion Hill said. "When coach DeHaven was here he had been here a while. He had his own system implemented and had his own thing going. When you start something new, you just have to be patient and work with it."’

‘The toughness of this venue may be too much to overcome for this Bills team. . . . Chiefs, 24-20.’

‘Her name is Buffy, she’s a beagle mix, and she’s the newest member of the Ralph and Mary Wilson clan.’

‘The Chiefs might also be getting a break with Buffalo head coach Wade Phillips’ decision to reinsert Rob Johnson at quarterback after he missed most of the last four games with a sprained shoulder.’

‘If ever a team was living by the NFL’s one-game-at-a-time mantra, it’s the Bills (6-4), who find themselves in the thick of a 10-team playoff race in the AFC thanks to a three-game winning streak.’

‘Bills can win if … They play turnover free. Though the Chiefs haven’t been a turnover machine this season, they are still adept at getting takeaways at home because they use crowd noise to their advantage.’

‘"That’s my approach. I figure if I can get the quarterback harassed and rattled then there’s a chance," Cunningham said. "That’s how I coach defence."’

‘Like Rob Johnson, Elvis Grbac has a former CFL star backing him. But unlike Johnson, Grbac has no fear for his job.’

‘It’s quite simple for the Chiefs right now: They have no margin for error.’

‘This year’s group is shaping up, statistically at least, as among the worst ever for the Chiefs.’
