Bills-Buccaneers: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘The wideout was just signed last week after being released by the Chicago Bears. All he did was catch four passes to lead all players with 107 receiving yards and come up with a few huge grabs the Bills desperately needed, including the longest play of the game – a 59-yard pass and catch from Tyrod Taylor on the first play after the Buccaneers took the lead in the fourth quarter. Thompson also had receptions of 23 and 27 yards on the day. It was just his second 100-yard performance of his 42-game career.’

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10/22/17)
‘I’ll be the first to admit that over the past three seasons, I’ve given my share of criticisms towards Tyrod Taylor’s game. By this point, we all know what he is as a starting quarterback — and that’s someone that can make a few fascinating plays with his legs, make a throw or three that are great, and that won’t cost his team the victory by turning the ball over. He’s also a good enough quarterback to help a team sneak into the playoffs… and his effort down the stretch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was indicative of that.’

McDermott takes the blame for poor clock management
‘”That was my fault. That was all my fault. I thought we could get three plays off right there, meaning a complete or a a shot [at the end zone] and then a spike after that. We’ll go back and work on that. That’s all my fault,” admitted McDermott after the game.’
Pitoniak: White saves the day on a day when the Bills defense gets carved up
‘White had come up with a bounce-back, game-changing play – the kind of opportunistic play that saved a game and perhaps indicates that after 17 years of bad luck the breaks may finally be going the Bills way. Don’t get him wrong. Despite the self-flagellation, White was thankful for the win. “It doesn’t matter how you get it,’’ he said. “It matters that you get it because it’s hard to win games in this league.”’
Bills Come From Behind To Beat Bucs 30-27
‘These are games the Bills usually lose. The fact that they showed resilience to come back and win after falling behind in the fourth quarter is a testimony to where they are at as a team.’

What they’re saying: Bills discuss keys to the come-from-behind win against Tampa Bay
‘We changed the scheme up a little bit. I had more one-on-one opportunities and I felt I ran solid, too. I mean I know at the end it was kind of slow running the clock out, but overall I thought I ran the ball well. Maybe a play or two, I wish I could’ve had a difference as the outcome. But overall, we ran the ball solid. Tyrod [Taylor] really just took over today, throwing it and running it.’
Top 3 things we learned from Bills-Buccaneers
‘“It felt good for sure,” said McCoy. “I was so happy to get in there, and the guys up front were really happy for me to get in there. It’s been a while. I’m used to being in the end zone so it felt good. I really enjoyed that second one to get it after that fumble.”’
WRs Matthews and Thompson active for Bills
‘“For the most part, if I’m out there catching balls I feel like I can go out there and play,” said Matthews this week. “So I want to be able to go out there and run and get right back into it with my guys.”’
Bills Today: White one of the league’s rising starts
‘White’s statistics so far this season speak for themselves. His athletic ability isn’t a question, but he’s also shown he has the mental aspect of the game down. His maturity at 22-years-old is impressive and it’s evident with how he carries himself. For a guy who’s on pace for Defensive Rookie of the Year, he vows to be better. It will be a luxury to see White develop as he’s already exceeding expectations according to Farrar.’
