'Though several fans celebrated the newlyweds, others took out their adrenaline — or aggression — on an actual jet cockpit parked in a lot. With a bat and a Bills hard hat, the mafia went to town on the green-and-white liner.'

'"I really appreciate the time that I spent there," McDermott said. "But I also know the work we have to put in this week, and that's where my focus is right now."'

'Taylor threw deep only once, and it fell incomplete, and he spent the rest of the day throwing to his backs and tight ends.'

'“I would start off with missed opportunities in the first half,” McDermott told reporters Monday when asked what those areas included. “When you looked at yardage-wise, at least in the first half, offense vs. defense, we had opportunities to put points on the board in the first half, which we didn’t capitalize on, which we have to and will do going forward.”'

'In the end the Bills did the only thing they could do in the opener. They won. Drawing conclusions after one of sixteen games is always dangerous. This time, it's even riskier because of the quality of the opponent. So if you want to to have your fun posting pictures of the standings on your social media pages, knock yourself out. Really, I'm not going to be a jerk to you about it. Being a Bills fans mostly means enjoying the good times when they come so have at it. I'll just be over in the corner waiting for New England to regain their typical form and bracing for the games the Bills will play against teams that haven't destroyed themselves.'

'On playing Cam Newton next week: "Good person, good football player, he was a big part of my success when I was there, and he's very very tough to defend."'

'On the crowd: "Good win. We strive to win all of our home games. Truly embrace our home field advantage. We're talking about it a lot."'

'The couple was decked out from head to toe in Bills gear. A man dressed as a referee even officiated their wedding.'

'“I don’t know about (having an advantage),” he said of knowing the Panthers tendencies. “I’m not out there playing, so it’s hard to say an advantage. We have to put in our time and earn the right to win.”'

'“I thought Cordy did a good job and the important part is that he came out healthy,” said McDermott. “By all reports from what we can tell that’s where he is right now and it’s now how we handle this week moving forward.”'

'“It’s huge. It’s momentum,” said Lorenzo Alexander of the win. “We still have a lot of things we can get better on. Obviously, special teams we gave up a big return. We can learn from that, as well as on offense and defense-some other things that came up.'

'“It was an awesome feeling. The way our defense fought the whole game, we gave up some big plays, we’re going to have to watch film and correct those mistakes but at the same time we’re out there working hard and it was an overall team effort,” Hyde said.'
