'The reality is the Bills’ defense kept them in the game, and it will have to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.'

'Elston made the team in his first training camp with the Bills, becoming a special teams contributor in the first two games of the season. He failed to register a tackle in two games played. Jenkins joined the team one week ago off of waivers after four seasons with the Dolphins. Jenkins has been released after being inactive for the Bills' Week 2 matchup with the Carolina Panthers.'

'Oh, what a game it was for Jerry Hughes. He’s back home in the defense that best suits him and he’s clearly having a lot of fun doing it. Coming into the game, it seemed like a huge opportunity against a poor left tackle for Hughes to dominate — and guess what? He did just that. Hughes came away with two sacks, but his game was so much more than that. He was sound against the run on the edge, he forced Cam Newton to hurry up his reads in the pocket multiple times, and he probably could have come away with four sacks against Carolina. The Panthers had no answer for him all game long.'

'Whaley told Business First he's not sure if he'll work for the NFL again, but he's "taking this fall to regroup."'

'“We evaluated him coming out and there was something special about Jordan,” Babich said. “Philly ended up drafting him. I was in the hotel before we were playing the Packers and we found out that Jordan got cut by Philly. The (pro scouting department) immediately asked us as a staff if we wanted him in Cleveland and we said, ‘Absolutely.’ So, that’s where it all started.”'

'Despite how busy running back LeSean McCoy is during the football season, he still always manages to find time for his biggest fans. In a video he shared on Instagram, McCoy spent his off day teaching his son how to read.'

'Buffalo now has two vacant roster spots to fill before Sunday's game against Denver.'

'“It didn’t change the team,” said Tyrod Taylor. “That’s just our attitude. We were still in it. As many plays as we didn’t make on offense we were still in it and had a chance to win it at the end. The defense did a great job of getting us the ball back and keeping it a low scoring game. Some games are going to be like that. We just weren’t on the winning side of it.”'

'“For sure with personnel. The scheme has probably changed a little bit from when he was there, but with their offensive personnel we’ll definitely sit down and talk throughout the week about how he liked to use those guys when he had them versus what they’re doing with them now. We’ll pick his brain for sure on personnel,” Frazier said.'
