Bills’ Richie Incognito accused of making ‘racist slurs’ by Jaguars player
‘Ngakoue did not offer any further comment Sunday on his accusation toward Incognito, but given that his Jaguars are set to take on the Steelers Sunday in an AFC divisional round game, he will almost certainly be asked about it in a media session. Neither Incognito nor the Bills’ organization had any comment on Sunday, but another Buffalo offensive lineman, Dion Dawkins, came to his teammate’s defense.’

Defense lifts Jaguars past Bills
‘”Those quarterback runs really hurt us,” Bills linebacker Preston Brown said. “He was holding that zone read, pulling it out and using the 4.8 speed, or whatever he has and did a good job. He did a great job scheming us. It’s the playoffs and he was going to run as much as he could.”‘
Yannick Ngakoue accuses Bills’ Richie Incognito of using racial slurs
‘The NFL cleared Incognito later in 2014 to return to football, but he spent that season out of the league before joining Buffalo the next year.’
Bills QB Tyrod Taylor in concussion protocol

Watch: The Bills probably got hosed by another catch-rule incident in NFL playoffs
‘It was a heck of a play — although anyone holding a Jags -8.5 or Jags -9 ticket was hoping Ramsey was taking the ball to the house — but it certainly looked like the ball hit the ground as Ramsey was rolling around. There was certainly nothing definite about it, but based on what we’ve seen all year, Ramsey did not appear to “survive the ground.”‘

‘Coach Cowher, during “The NFL Today” (the best pregame show on television, catch it before Titans-Patriots, Sat., Jan. 13 at 7:15 p.m. ET and then before Jaguars-Steelers on Sun., Jan. 14 at noon ET), lined up a gigantic wooden folding table and, alongside James Brown and the rest of the gang, proceeded — in full suit! — to smash that bad boy.’
2018 NFL Draft order: Here’s where Browns, Bills will get their two first-round picks
‘Mahomes looks like he’s dripping with potential, but right now it looks like a pretty solid haul for Buffalo. They would probably like to have at least one pick that’s higher, but picking in the 20s means they had a good a season. Which they did, making the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.’
Blake Bortles Did Just Enough, Like He Has All Season, as Jaguars Shut Down Bills
‘The Bills’ final two first-half drives ended with puzzling throws by Taylor and even more puzzling play-calling from offensive coordinator Rick Dennison. On the second-to-last drive of the first half, a heavy dose of LeSean McCoy in the pass and run games carried Buffalo to the red zone, and after stalling at the three-yard line the Bills were set to kick a field goal. But the Jaguars lined up int he neutral zone, gifting the Bills the ball at the one.’
