‘“It was amazing to see the amount of people still out there after the game,” McDermott told reporters on Monday. “It was about 5:30 so well after the game.

Brownie Points – Week 8
‘Brown used a good understanding of the construction of the Raiders passing attack and paired with the down and distance to anticipate the play.

McCoy: The 2017 Bills will fight you to the end
‘“We work hard. We’re a family,” said LeSean McCoy. “We support one another. This is a close family. It really is. Some guys I might know for a year, two years, two weeks or two months, we kind of have that bond. I don’t want to let the guy next to me down.”Uniform accountability in Buffalo’s locker room has proven to be elusive for the last six head coaches for the Bills. Yes, there was some buy-in each time a new coach was hired. But never during the last 17 years has a Bills roster been so resolutely dedicated to the team’s success by doing everything in their individual power to contribute to the cause.’

Pollock: Bills’ new attitude now translating to wins on the field

Bills’ pummeling of Raiders shows their success is sustainable
‘”It’s a big win, I think, as far as just continuing to separate yourself from the rest of the pack,” wide receiver Jordan Matthews said. “Because a lot of teams have two losses, three losses. There’s only one team with one loss, so at this point in the season you can start really setting yourself up if you can just continue to stack these wins.’

Jerry Sullivan: Marcell Dareus steps out, and guys step up

Bucky Gleason: Khalil Mack’s homecoming against Bills hardly what anyone expected
‘Here’s what I feel: The guy who showed up Sunday at New Era Field was nothing like the guy who played for UB. Mack was a good guy who carried himself with class and humility while wearing blue-and-white No. 46. He would have stood against the character who wore black-and-silver No. 52 and came across like a self-absorbed big-timer afterward.’
Report: Cordy Glenn still on Seahawks’ radar as potential trade target
‘Glenn’s base salary is $9 million this season, so if a team were to trade for him before the deadline it would commit more than $4 million in base salary to him for the rest of the year. The Bills would be left with $5.2 million in “dead money” by trading Glenn on this year’s cap — in addition to what they’ve already paid him in base salary — and would have a $9.6 million cap charge for him in 2018.’
