‘Shady can’t have only seven carries this week. If he does, the Bills are in for another long day. The score in Baltimore got out of hand early and, understandably, Brian Daboll had to ditch the original game plan.

Bills Today: McDermott on the best home-field advantage in the NFL
‘“It’s huge,” McDermott said. “6-2 last year, I believe, at home. We talk about defending our dirt quite a bit here, playing in front of our fans, to me the most passionate fanbase in the NFL, goes a long way toward creating a home-field advantage and giving our guys some energy and making it loud on opposing quarterbacks.
