Two Bills Drive

'“It’s great to have the support, especially from a great town and great organization like Buffalo. Those guys and gals are amazing. I just work hard and play my best game for them."'

'Ultimately, this is going to be a physical, close football game. That favors the Bills because that's exactly the type of game Buffalo has been winning this season. The Bills are accustomed to pulling out close games, which only adds to the toughness Sean McDermott has brought to Buffalo.'

'Sunday, Oct. 8 at 1:00 p.m. E.T.'

'“I’m here to do one job and that’s to play cornerback for the Buffalo Bills, so I’m preparing the same way I’ve prepared in Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 even though I wasn’t up,” Mabin told Buffalobills.com. “It’s my job to know our defense. It’s my job to know their offense.”'

'Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes has been downright dangerous all season. With three sacks in four weeks, Hughes has proven to be a quarterback’s nightmare. The Bengals will certainly have their work cut out for them when trying to contain this pass rusher.'

'“They don’t do a ton of stuff, it’s just that they’re really good at what they do. There are some areas where you prepare, and you don’t know the plan half the time because they are moving around and doing different things. These guys are just sound and they are playing really well,” Dalton said.'

'"Yeah, it needs to get better, just like a lot of areas on our team," coach Sean McDermott said Friday, acknowledging there's a shortcoming but not wanting to single it out.'

'Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jordan Matthews and linebacker Ramon Humber will miss Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with thumb injuries suffered in last weekend's win against the Atlanta Falcons.'

'They can't rely on the defense to carry them. If you don't get significant contributions from wideouts, it catches up with you sooner or later. Teams will continue to crowd the box and dare Tyrod Taylor to beat them down the field. Sunday's game against a third-ranked Bengals defense will be a telling test.'

'This time, the Bills need to do more than slow down the pace of the game. They need to start showing the kind of production they had in their season-opening victory against the New York Jets.'

'Meanwhile, Bills center Eric Wood has had some issues as a pass-protector through four games. He's surrendered four pressures (two hits, two hurries) on 127 pass-blocking snaps. While that may not seem like a high rate of pressures allowed, it's the 13th-best Pass-Blocking Efficiency score (97.6) out of 33 qualifying centers. Not bad but not great.'

'Taylor was ranked 24th in their Week One rankings, which included every player. He was the last player listed in the "middle of the pack" category, behind Jay Cutler and Joe Flacco.'

'Before Bills rookie linebacker Matt Milano makes his first professional start against the Bengals, let's access his potential from an athletic perspective.'

'“It’s hard being a fan of a team that’s never made the playoffs in the entire time I’ve been watching,” Okoniewski said. “But I’ll always be a Bills fan. Even after 17 years of not being in the playoffs, which is most of my life. I’ll always be a fan, even if they go 30 years without being in the playoffs.”'
