Quick Hits: Surgery Successful for Russell Bodine
It didn’t look good when Russell Bodine went down with a lower leg injury in the first half of Sunday’s game and left the field with a heavy limp and some assistance from the athletic training staff. On Monday, head coach Sean McDermott informed the media that Bodine’s 2018 season is over.
“Russ had a fractured fibula. He had surgery (Monday),” said McDermott. “We expect a full recovery. He’ll be out for the season, but the surgery went well as planned. We’ll get him back some time this offseason.”
Hughes' postgame interaction with official in league’s hands
Bills DE Jerry Hughes sought out a member of Shawn Hochuli’s officiating crew after the game Sunday that was captured on video by the media. Coach McDermott followed up by speaking with Hughes to get to the bottom of what happened.

The Bills came into their Week 13 game at Miami among the league leaders in penalties assessed against them. Unfortunately, their problems drawing yellow flags continued.
The Bills had 13 penalties assessed against them in the loss to the Dolphins for a total of 120 yards.
“We always take ownership of all of it,” said McDermott. “That’s where we start and then you try to peel back the layers. If it’s pre-snap or post-whistle those are the ones that are non-negotiable. Those are the ones that hurt.
