‘“Yeah it feels like each one is a tipped ball and I’m diving forward to make a play,” Hyde said. “The tips and overthrows are a DB’s best friend. I’ve been saying that for a long time and they come in bunches so I’ll keep taking the tips if they want to keep giving them to me.”‘

The Jets sport the 27th-best run defense (182.2 yards-per-game), and New York allowed McCoy to run for 110 yards during Buffalo’s 21-12 win over the Jets Week 1.’

‘”We made a commitment to Anquan, and he made a commitment to us back in [training] camp,” Beane told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday. “He left for the reasons he mentioned back in August.

What they’re saying: Bills at the edge of the top 10 in NFL power rankings
‘It’s still amazing to see what running back LeSean McCoy is able to do on the field. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor also deserves more credit than he gets.
