‘”He’s so funny, man,” Henderson said. “He’s always into something. That’s just how Boobie is. He’s real cool. Real down to earth guy.”‘

‘”Yeah, we knew that” Williams “was new out there, just started playing really,” Woods said. “But our whole mindset was whoever was out there, we needed to attack them and push them with speed and make them believe that we were going deep every play.”‘

‘Monday’s loss was an utter humiliation. I don’t want to take away from a brilliant Bills performance, but the Jets were a pathetic mess. They were outplayed, outhit and outhustled. They were dumb and lifeless. In the second half, they essentially quit on their coach.’

‘He said the stadium suffered some damage but not enough to delay Sunday’s game.’

‘The defense. Absolutely dominant and fun to watch.’

‘Williams now has 12 sacks this season, and the Bills, who sacked Jets quarterbacks six time on Monday, have a league-leading 46 sacks, eight better than the next best team in the NFL.’

‘”Yeah, I thought we played pretty well on offense minus maybe a couple of three-and-outs because of a couple of penalties or lack of execution. But overall I thought we played well, played with a great mentality and that was really Coach (Doug) Marrone’s message to the offense, just go out there and take it and trust in each other, trust in the system. I think we probably did a better job at that than any time throughout the year so far.”‘

‘”He just kept telling us every day that people are counting us out,” offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson said. “All our losses (are) pretty much close other than two of them. And hey, we fight. That’s what we do. Coach Marrone always preaches that we’re still in the race. We can still win out. We can beat anybody in the NFL. We all believe that. We rallied around coach Marrone and the whole coaching staff, and we’re just going to keep riding this thing out. That’s what we’re going to do.”‘

‘”This is going to be an old-fashioned, blue-collar matchup as much as it can be when all the players are millionaires,” said Hall-of-Fame guard Joe DeLamielleure, who played for both franchises. “The teams are similar and so are the fan bases. I’ve told people that fans of these two cities will buy tickets before they’ll buy their kids jackets. That’s how much the franchises mean to their cities.”‘

‘”I got to look at so much [Jets] film that by the time we played the game, I could pretty much tell from their formation what they were going to do.”‘

‘”It was just a busy, hectic week. And really this win was for the city of Buffalo, giving back for everything that they’ve been through,” receiver Robert Woods said. “It feels good, especially after a win. Now we’ve just got to get another one.”‘

‘”We had less leaks than we really anticipated, less issues than we anticipated, but still a lot of damage,” said Major. “And that’s what we’re focused on now is the repair work.”‘

‘So it is early and the jury has a while to consider whether Clowney was worth that pick. But in Buffalo, the Bills are happy with Williams. He looks very much like the highest-paid player on the team. In a 38-3 win over the New York Jets on Monday night, Williams racked up another two sacks, giving him 12 for the season, just two off the career high he set at Houston.’

‘”We’ve had pipes and some things that have had issues, but right now everything is being worked through. All indications lead to a full game-day experience on Sunday.”‘

‘Woods’ performance was vital to the success of the passing game. He entered the NFL as a second-round pick in 2013, billed as the most NFL-ready receiver in that draft, but while Woods has played fairly well, he has rarely been a difference-maker. Until Monday. He set career highs for catches (9) and yards (118) with eight of the receptions converting first downs, and one resulting in a touchdown.’
