'The Bills didn't force any turnovers in Carolina, which must have summoned bad memories of a year ago. And while they sacked Newton six times, they also allowed him to convert 7 of 16 third downs. Carolina had the ball for 38:53 and the Bills started only one possession outside their own 25-yard line.'

'Trump, who placed a bid to purchase the Bills in 2014, said he wanted NFL owners, "when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired!'"'

'"Several of us met tonight — players, coaches, staff, and ownership. Our goal was to provide open dialogue and communication. We listened to one another. We believe it's the best way to work through any issue we are facing — on and off the field.'

'Bills running back LeSean McCoy didn't hold back when it came to his reaction to President Trump's call for NFL owners to fire the "son of a bitch" players who protest the national anthem. Ten hours after he posted the tweet, he had more than 193,000 "likes" and had been retweeted more than 61,000 times.'

'It won't be hot enough for an official heat advisory by National Weather Service criteria, but numbers don't tell the whole story for fans on Sunday. It will be hot and humid with very little breeze to help create evaporative cooling on your skin, especially in tight quarters with other warm people.'

'“It’s a good mixed crowd,” bartender Tim McIntyre said. “You get young people, older people. You can watch the game with the sound on, and I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house to see the TVs.”'

'Broncos 23, Bills 17.'

'What’s interesting about Denver is that while the Broncos lead the league in rushing yards, keyed by C.J. Anderson, second in the NFL with 199 yards in two games, the real story has been quarterback Trevor Siemian, tied for the National Football League lead in touchdown passes with six. And though he’s seen, by many, as a pedestrian QB, Siemian has thrown 24 touchdown passes in his first 16 starts, third-most in franchise history.'

'“I just try to think, when I watch the tape, it is never as bad as you thought but it’s never as good as you thought either,” McCoy said. “I just felt there were some plays I could have made. You watch the tape and maybe it is not as many as you thought but just knowing myself … everybody has to be honest to their self when they watch the tape. You have to know your game.'

'"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired," Trump said. "He's FIRED!' You know, some owner is gonna do that. He's gonna say, 'That guy disrespects our flag; he's fired.' And that owner, they don't know it. They don't know it. They're friends of mine, many of them. They don't know it. They'll be the most popular person, for a week. They'll be the most popular person in this country."'

'Broncos 17, Bills 10.'

'"Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities."'

'“I think the timing of it,” Peterman said he is getting accustomed to. “That’s just the NFL. I have run some similar concepts and things, but it’s the timing, the speed of the defensive players, the timing with your footwork and working all the way through your progressions like getting your check down and taking what’s there.”'

'As the season moves on, defenses may continue to pack the box to prevent McCoy from getting plays as well as halt the short-game throws by Buffalo.'
