'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.'

'Our players have the freedom to express themselves in a respectful and thoughtful manner and we all agreed that our sole message is to provide and to promote an environment that is focused on love and equality.”'

'One way to attack the disguises that Buffalo will throw Denver’s way on defense is with play-action, limiting the ability of linebackers and safeties to drop into their proper zones on time. Another way is for DT and Sanders to beat press coverage when they face it and win outside leverage, forcing the safeties to have to cover sideline to sideline instead of hash-to-hash and really putting pressure on Buffalo’s inexperienced cornerbacks.'

'Buffalo’s defense has played lights out for two weeks in a row. I think they keep it close, but Denver pulls it out. 23-10.'

'"I think a lot of white people don't understand it and are afraid to be involved," Hauschka said. "And I think it's important for white people to see there is inequality everywhere in the country right now, and in the world."'

'Glenn also injured his ankle on Sunday against Carolina, but it is not the same foot that had plagued him through training camp and the preseason. Glenn was able to return to practice and was listed as limited on Thursday, but he was listed as did not practice on Friday.'

'TE Charles Clay is 1 of 5 NFL TE's with 50+ catches, 500+ rec. yards & 3+TD catches in each of past 4 seasons.'

'"If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem," Trump tweeted. "If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do!"'
