‘”I got the ball and stuttered to set up the blocks,” Murphy said. “The hole opened wide open…I thought I was in the end zone. I saw the pylon and I thought [the defender] wasn’t going to beat me there. The ref said I stepped out, but it turned out good because we eventually scored.”‘

‘A league source told cleveland.com that Coleman’s portrayal on the show caught the attention of some in the Bills’ organization and didn’t play well. He also hasn’t made a great first impression on some in Buffalo.’

‘“With all that, I’m going to take the high road. You all can see for yourself pretty much how stuff worked out. I just laugh at it because it’s kind of funny.”‘

‘After the game, Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said he didn’t know the nature of McCarron’s injury. When asked at his postgame press conference if McCarron had suffered a fractured collarbone, McDermott said: “All I really know is he hurt his right shoulder, and we’ll get some more tests when we get back (to Buffalo).”‘

‘“In a perfect world, you’d love to know by Game 3,” Beane said. “That’s your dress rehearsal game. But we just can’t artificially put someone there. Because the players, they watch the film. They’re out here in practice and they go against each other. So if we artificially put somebody in there before it’s settled, then I don’t think that’s going to jive well in the locker room.”’

‘It is unclear how long McCarron will be sidelined, but presumably he will be out for a while.’
