'Outside the stadium, vendors sold shirts with Kaepernick's image in the sites of a rifle scope, and fans tackled a dummy dressed up like the quarterback . Nearby, other fans protested in support of the movement.'

'Buffalo's 312 rushing yards were its most since gaining 315 in a Nov. 11, 1992 win over the New Orleans Saints. It's the most rushing yards San Francisco has allowed since giving up 324 yards to the Los Angeles Rams Nov. 9, 1958.'

'Meanwhile, just off the stadium property, TheMMQB.com reported that outside vendors were selling anti-Kaepernick shirts, including one depicting Kaepernick in the crosshairs of a rifle scope with the words "Wanted: Notorious Disgrace to America" around a photo of Kaepernick.'

'Since then, the Bills have been substantially better than they were under Roman. McCoy is running with much better vision and decisiveness, breaking long run after long run. On Sunday, he was spectacular.'

'As expected, some fans who clearly do not agree with his protest are not giving him a warm welcome at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.'

'On the ensuing kickoff, Nickell Robey-Coleman, following up his 2-interception and AFC Defensive Player of the Week nomination with a forced fumble that was recovered by Jonathan Meeks to put the Bills in prime territory to score once again. Tyrod Taylor would take a shot down the right sideline to LeSean McCoy but was unsuccessful. On the play however, 49ers defensive back Eric Reid would get called for defensive pass interference setting the Bills offense up with a first-and-goal situation.'

'The Bills took care of business and took advantage of the schedule which is exactly what you have to do if you’re going to make the playoffs in the NFL.'

'RB LeSean McCoy: He's simply been incredible this season, especially over the past four games, and was again on Sunday, turning in one of the best performances of his entire career.'

'Tyrod Taylor added two scores through the air, connecting with Justin Hunter and Robert Woods in the fourth quarter as the Bills opened up a 38-16 lead.'

'This is a game that, when they’re in a big spot and on the cusp of taking a step forward, has gone against them so many times before. Just look in recent years: 2015 against Jacksonville, 2014 in Oakland, 2012 versus Tennessee: three games where the Bills looked like they were going to take a step forward — and three games were they fell, for fans, heart-sickeningly short.'

'Four games, four wins. So much for the Buffalo Bills’ 0-2 start.'

'There’s still a long, long way to go. But Buffalo is winning games it’s supposed to be winning, which is what legitimate playoff contenders do. They’ve been on quite a run lately. A run led by a back who is back to being the real McCoy.'

'Total team effort in the win.'

'McCoy spearheaded the Buffalo effort with three rushing touchdowns and 140 yards on the ground and the Bills offense went four for four in the red zone. Their 45 points scored was Buffalo’s highest total since scoring 49 on Nov. 21, 2010 at Cincinnati.'

'“He’s phenomenal,” Bills center Eric Wood said. “He’s a great back. The longer we play with him, the more comfortable we are all getting with each other’s style. And he is hitting it right now. He is hitting holes and playing extremely well.”'
