‘A: I don’t necessarily hear; I stay away from the media. We’re here to talk about Tampa Bay and getting ready for that, so any questions that pertain to that, I’m ready to answer.

‘“Ryan is always extremely well prepared. If you put it in perspective, Jameis has 37 starts. Ryan has 116. Ryan got all of the passing reps today, so that’s about 35 more than he’s gotten since the season started with the first offense. He’s a pro. He knows how to prepare and he showed that last week. However it works out, we are going to be fine either way.”’

‘The Bills are 3-2 after the bye week and in the thick of the way-too-early playoff hunt. As such, there aren’t a ton of value buys on the resale market for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. Between tickets and parking, it will likely cost you at least $100 to see the game in person.’
