Bills WR Andre Holmes donates new uniforms to Hillsdale College football program

Inside the Bills: Handing out midterm grades, position by position
‘Tyrod Taylor earns this grade all by himself, as backup Nathan Peterman has yet to take a snap as a rookie. Taylor’s statistics through eight games – 154 of 236 (65.3 completion percentage), 1,628 yards, 6.9 yards per attempt, 10 touchdowns, two interceptions – fall mostly in line with what he’s done in past seasons. He’s rarely going to make the big mistake that hurts the team, but isn’t consistently going to throw for 300 yards a game, either. Leading back-to-back comeback victories over Tampa Bay and Oakland, however, can be looked at as a huge step forward for Taylor.’

Will Buffalo Bills bounce to make push for NFL playoffs?
‘There’s no doubt the Bills’ latest loss was a tough one, and Buffalo teams of the past have struggled to bounce back from similar failures, but McDermott’s Bills have showed a resiliency early this season that has been lacking so far this millennium from other Buffalo outfits. But only time will tell how they respond to their biggest challenge of 2017.’
