'I was really impressed with Buffalo against the Broncos and I think this is going to be a hard-fought game. I'm going to say a narrow Falcons win, 27-24.'

'“Personally, I think he might be a little more physical run-after-the-catch; he likes to use the stiff arm a lot. Pretty good stiff arm, but they’re pretty similar players,” Campbell said of Clay. “I never played against anybody (in college) that’s like the guys in the League. That’s why they’re here.”'

'Although the Bills play a 4-3 defense, which typically relies on defensive ends to provide the bulk of the pass rush, they aren’t afraid to blitz with linebackers or safeties. Veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander is coming off a career year where he recorded 12.5 sacks, and he already has two sacks this season. Tied with Alexander for the team lead in sacks are defensive ends Shaq Lawson and Jerry Hughes and safety Jordan Poyer.'

'"The defenses in which he's been involved were always hard-nosed and really good," Quinn said. "Now, you can see that coming through to the entire team. That's not easy to do, but that's now his personality coming through to the team."'

'RB LeSean McCoy has four TDs in last two games against Falcons.'

'“I try to take the good things from everybody,” he tells me. “Obviously, you're going to have staples of your game no matter what they are, and my work ethic and the way that I practice I hope is a staple. And then I use input from the coaches, whether it's Bill Kollar, who was my first one, to Coach Waufle now, use the input into my game and how to improve it. I try to take all the good things from all of them.”'

'White is just the third Bills rookie cornerback to be honored as Defensive Rookie of the Month. Leodis McKelvin was the first to be honored in November of 2008, and Ronald Darby was given the honor in September of 2015.'

'“I know that I belong in this league,” said White. “If I continue to take that approach and continue to practice hard like I do and continue to be a team player and accept the coaching, I’ll be fine.”'

'The Bills may be the toughest test thus far for the Falcons, but it will certainly be the toughest test so far for Buffalo as well.'
