‘The Bills are scheduled to leave from Buffalo Niagara International Airport at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Whether that is feasible is a fair question. The runways at the airport reopened at 9:25 a.m., the airport announced, after closing at 5:30 a.m. with a reported 25 inches of snow falling on the tarmac by Saturday morning. Even so, flights out of Buffalo have been subject to significant delays and cancellations throughout the day so far.’

Carucci Take2: Bills still living in land of the bizarre while looking to snap losing streak
‘The heavy support of a home crowd would figure to be at least somewhat compromised by the late move of the game, but on the plus side, the Bills’ passing offense should thrive while playing indoors.

‘The Cleveland defense ranks in the bottom 10 for yards allowed per play, yards allowed per run and yards allowed per pass. They’re even dead last in punt return yards allowed.

‘”You’ve got to be able to learn from every experience whether you win or lose and then be able to apply it where it’s necessary,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “That’s what we’re trying to do every week. It’s no different if we had won the game with how we’ll be searching tape and trying to figure out things we’ve got to get better at because that’s what the opponent is doing.

So, two of the better guards in the National Football League, and two of the better tackles in the National Football League.
