'“This is not something that just happens to me. It’s football,” he said Wednesday. “At the end of the day it’s hard. This is the National Football League. If it was easy everyone would be out there catching passes. This is not something you just roll the ball out and do, it’s going to take time.”'
Buffalo Bills Week 5 injury report: Shaq Lawson getting closer to return

Buffalo Bills' Tre'Davious White named quarter-season DROY by ESPN's Bill Barnwell
'The NFL's pick for Defensive Rookie of the Month was cornerback Tre'Davious White, who has played regularly and effectively. Buffalo's first-round pick has been on the field for 256 snaps, second in the league among defensive rookies behind Jets safety Marcus Maye. Teams have gone after the former LSU standout, but White has held his own; his eight passes defensed are tied for the league lead with Chiefs corner Terrance Mitchell. White also returned a fumble for a crucial touchdown in Sunday's win over the Falcons, although he also committed a pass interference penalty on the Buffalo 1-yard line against Mohamed Sanu.'
5 things to watch as the Bills face the Bengals
'Get it done: In 2011, the Bills were 3-0 and went down the Cincy and lost 23-20. That's just one case in the drought that's happened. Over the past 17 years, the Bills have won games they shouldn't have. That hasn't been the issues. It's been the next game, or the next one after that, which they should win, because but didn't. The Bengals are a 3-point favorite at home, according to many in Las Vegas. Meaning they're calling this game a tossup. Cincinnati has won once this season, against Cleveland. If the 2017 Bills are for real, they should win this one.'

Bills Roundtable: Signature moments from the 2017 season thus far
'Donald Jones: The one thing that I have learned playing football was sometimes you are good, and other times you are lucky. A wise man once said good teams create their own luck. In Week 3 the Bills got a little lucky with a questionable call when Von Miller stuck his hand out as if to help Tyrod up off the ground. He then pulled his hand away like the old ‘too slow’ move which my son does to me all the time. The ref threw the flag for a personal foul. It was a huge call because it kept a drive going which helped the Bills put the game away. I will never forget that call.'
Preston & Mike Brown: A father-son football story
'“The main thing was feet,” said Brown. “You could show him a play whether he was blocking or tackling where he would make contact with somebody and his feet would stop. The thing I was trying to teach him and I exaggerated a little bit, but I said, ‘That’s why they call the game football because you’re supposed to play with your feet. Your feet are supposed to move through the ball carrier or through the block.’'
Bills Today: Taylor taking more shots downfield
'“We thought last week we could push the ball down field a little more, on some of the things they showed on film throughout the week,” he said. “Wasn’t able to connect on as many of them as we wanted to. That’s definitely something to show other teams that were still trying to push the ball down the field.”'
Bengals’ Lewis complimentary of Bills improvement
'“They’re converting (41 percent), and (Taylor) has probably run for half of their first downs,” he said. “(Taylor) delivers the ball on time when he’s in the pocket. And, when he’s out of the pocket, he’s been able to pick up the first down and keep them moving down the field.”'

McDermott says Dareus part of 'competition' for playing time on Bills' D-line
'"I wouldn't feel right knowing that the guy that I'm playing with, that's playing the same position as me, isn't trying his best, doing the best he can, just as well as I am," he said. "We're all out there trying to be the best to help the team. And like I've been saying and what McDermott has been preaching to us from Day One, we're one/eleven. We want everyone to own up to what their position is, what their role is and do the best you can at it, no matter if you're a starter or you're a backup."'
