Two Bills Drive

‘The 29-year-old Covington, who died at the scene, did not live at the apartment, Shralow said.’

‘Covington, 29, was visiting friends at the Coachman Manor Apartments in Lindenwold when two men forced their way into the apartment, police said. Covington was shot as he struggled with one of the men. The men fled on foot, said Bill Shralow, spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor’s office. Covington was a third-round draft pick in 1995. He played for the Buffalo Bills until 1997 when a knee injury ended his career. His attempted at a comeback in 1998 fizzled when he was waived by the team.

Williams Notes: Currently ranks 3rd in the AFC in rushing… also ranks 4th in the AFC and in the NFL with 1,350 total yards from scrimmage… has led the Dolphins in rushing ten times this season, in receptions three times and in reception yardage once.

Peerless Price:

Needs 73 receiving yards for his first career 1,000 yard season. He'd be just the 7th Bills player to have one and there have been only 11 in team history.

With 43 rushing yards, Henry will becomethe 8th different Bills player with a 1,000-yard campaign and the 21st overall. After practice on Friday, the Bills running back answered some emails.

‘"Just because I played the worst game in history doesn’t mean I don’t want to come face them again," Lucas said. "If I was smart I wouldn’t want to be in there right now. I’m sure all these guys (in Buffalo) are saying, "Oh, good. Ray’s coming to town. We’re going to get some picks this week.’ All I’m doing is looking at it as another game. I’m going to play it one play at a time and let the other 10 guys around me make plays."’

‘Miami ranks No. 1 in average drive start after kickoffs.’

‘If the Bills fail to make the playoffs, it won’t be the team’s eight starters in their first or second year who will take the blame. It’ll be the guys who’ve been down this path.’

‘If Washington decides Smith no longer is a fit, might the Bills consider bringing him back at a modest salary for a final season?’

‘Cold and artificial turf aside, Nails is looking forward to his Buffalo return. ”I feel I have something to prove,” he said. “I feel like I’m always under the microscope, somebody’s always watching me.”’

‘Carter met with his doctor before practice and received some encouraging news in his battle back from kidney problems. Carter’s tests improved and he might play on Sunday.’

‘No Dolphins team of recent vintage has been as suited for this final slippery stretch as this one. It has a healthy roster, with 20 of 22 starters available, Jay Fiedler ready to return and Cris Carter close. It finally has a bruising runner in Ricky Williams, who realizes he was acquired to plow a path over Miami’s past. And it has a defense fresh following the time-draining work Williams has done from September through November.’

‘A sign in the Dolphins’ locker room carried this message: "Buffalo forecast is for snow. When packing your bags, please be sure to have a pair of Destroyers if you are a Nike contract player. If you are a Reebok contract player, be sure to have Wet Turf Rat shoes. It would be a good idea to begin breaking them in today." "Destroyers" and "Wet Turf Rats" are models of shoes specifically designed for wet Astroturf-type surfaces.’

‘Coach Dave Wannstedt said Marion’s back started to tighten up Thursday, which is why he was held out of practice. If Marion is unable to start against the Bills then Shawn Wooden would take his place.’
