‘“I’ve had limited opportunities to go against him and that’s a little bit unique being around the league as long as I have and as long as Ryan has,” McDermott said. “But (he’s) a good quarterback. We all saw what happened when Jameis went out … how he brought that team back. He’s a very capable player … his career speaks for itself, what he’s done over the years and how long he’s played.”’

‘“It really does (feel like coming home) … I don’t want to say it’s a weird feeling, but it doesn’t feel like that anywhere else I played,” he said. “Part of it is that I was in Buffalo for four years … longer than anywhere else. (It’s) a special team (for players), the guys appreciate it, the fan base is always going to get behind their team.’
Buffalo Bills attempted to sign New England Patriots’ CB off practice squad
‘Lewis probably made the right decision by staying with New England. If Buffalo had signed Lewis to their 53-man roster, he may have had trouble sticking on the roster long-term.

What they’re saying: Bills-Buccaneers game predictions
‘This isn’t a great matchup for the Buccaneers with Jameis Winston injured. The Bills don’t have the most potent of offenses, but the Tampa defense isn’t exactly terrific.
