‘Alexander and Williams had played some of the best football of their lives. Yet, they fixated on the fact the Bills couldn’t prevent an 84-yard field-goal drive that tied the game at 13-13 with 1:34 remaining, on how close they had come to getting a crucial turnover when Jerry Hughes forced Deshaun Watson to fumble with just less than three minutes left only to have the Texans recover.’

‘“Josh goes in pretty early (compared to) all the rest of the players, to come in and do his routine,” Benjamin said. “Right before I guess he was about to go in, he asked me, he’s like, ‘Do you need anything?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m good.’ And then he ended up leaving and then I ended up leaving, but I guess she put the tweet out thinking like this was a big break, you know? I mean, you put stories out there like that and, you know, Twitter pages start to get followers.”’

‘Peterman keeps showing up – which is more than you can say about Vontae Davis – because no one in a position of authority has told him to stop.’

‘“Obviously, we didn’t do enough if we didn’t win,” White said. “So, I mean, the only thing we can do is go back to the drawing board, continue to play defense like we’ve been playing, continue to take the ball away and getting our team in a great position to win ball games.”’

‘Peterman now has nine interceptions in 79 pass attempts, an INT rate of 11.39 percent.’

‘Besides the blocked punt, the Bills also had a hold (by Deon Lacey) on a punt and an offsides (by Andre Holmes) on a kickoff. The only redeeming play was a 60-yard punt by Corey Bojorquez from his own end zone with a hang time of 5.15 seconds. It flipped the field for the Bills.’

‘I mean, seriously, how much worse can it get? From the first play of the game for the special teams to the last, it was awful. Ray-Ray McCloud fumbled twice on his only two catches. With a chance to give his team good field position after the Texans tied the game late, Taiwan Jones bobbled the kickoff and was buried inside the 20-yard line. Don’t even get me started on the blocked punt, which was horrendous. To put the cherry on top of this stink sundae, there were penalty problems, too. Just awful, save for the two field goals Stephen Hauschka made, including one from 52 yards.’

‘“Really, they were bringing pressure, I had made a check and just a bad decision; can’t chalk it up to anything more than that. But this is something I’m going to learn from. It was a critical time. I thought there are just so many lessons out there for me to learn and get better from.”’
