‘Doug Marrone probably should have went for it on 4th and 3 from the Jags 36 but obviously had little faith in Manuel so he tried the long field goal that was no good. His team bounced back after a slow start but it is on him for having a slow start. They should have been ready to go.’

‘The Bills defense then made a goal line stand with three minutes remaining as Stephon Gilmore picked off a Chad Henne pass in the back left corner of the end zone.’

‘”It was just connection you know,” Woods told BuffaloBills.com. “We’ve been working each and every week. We were just staying after practice and putting extra work in, and it finally paid off in the game. We connected a lot.”‘

‘”When I found out I was already here,” said Johnson following Buffalo’s 27-20 win over Jacksonville. “I talked to coach and he gave me an option and I felt like I went all week with the boys and whatever I can do to help out the team, I think I should give it my all no matter what. It was tough, but we got the win and I’m happy about that and I’m sure she is happy about that.”‘

‘”First of all, I am very proud of this team. Obviously, this was a battle, well fought by two teams. We have been in these types of games throughout the year and have come up on the short side of it. I give the players credit for hanging in there today because we came up on the side we want to be on. It’s easy to say things as a coach in the locker room during the week to get things going. During the course of the game, adversity hits. Obviously you will have some questions about some areas that we did bad in, some tough times for us offensively and defensively. But the one thing is we were able to get a response. That is a credit to those guys in the locker room. I am very excited for them. We are going to enjoy this win and get ourselves back to work to try and get back-to-back (win) situation going.”‘

‘”It feels good to get a win down here. I came down here and trained and went 2-1 this year and that’s a great Florida trip for me.”‘
