‘The play broke down because the Bills’ offensive line was pushed deep into the backfield by Miami’s front line. Henry took the handoff and had to immediately get rid of the ball. Reed realized what happened and broke off his route, but Henry’s wobbly pass never made it to him as Surtain leaped to grab it.’

‘For the third week in a row the Bills failed to establish a viable rushing attack, and it has now become a prime concern.’

‘RT Mike Williams, the fourth overall pick in the 2002 draft, has not played particularly well. The Bills have not been able to run behind the 370-pounder like they expected to, and he was beaten cleanly for a sack by Adewale Ogunleye.’

‘Joe Burns could be a key player for the Buffalo Bills when they host Philadelphia Sunday. Not bad for a guy who ran the ball just five times last year.’

‘That leaves Joe Burns and Sam Gash as the only healthy backs on the roster. Williams says the club will spend Tuesday looking to see if there are any backs out there they can bring in. They could also activate Ken Simonton from the practice squad.’

‘Williams had more touches (45) than Buffalo did total offensive plays (44) in a methodical performance.’

‘Even if Henry is healthy enough to play, Williams said the team will consider signing a running back.’
