Two Bills Drive

‘The dark cloud following Lucas recently has disappeared. He has helped the Dolphins to two straight victories and has 94 attempts without an interception. "Same guy physically," Coach Dave Wannstedt said. "Different guy mentally."’

‘In the past two games, Miami has 10 sacks and forced three turnovers while holding opponents to 130 yards rushing.’

‘Holding Eric Moulds and Peerless Price to 8-73 was key to the win.’

‘In losing three straight, the Bills (5-6) have combined for just three offensive touchdowns, while averaging 311 yards of offense over that stretch including a season-low 258 net yards in Sunday’s 31-13 loss to the New York Jets. That’s a dramatic drop from the 3.7 touchdowns and more than 405 yards of offense Buffalo averaged in its first six games.’

‘The Dolphins play at Buffalo on Sunday, meaning Ray Lucas will get another shot at the Bills — who forced him into six turnovers in his first start last month. But after committing nine turnovers in his first three starts, Lucas has played consecutive games without one.’

Travis Henry: Became just the sixth back in Bills history to record 10+ TDs in a season…the rushing TD total is the most since Thurman Thomas had 11 in 1990…is 43 rushing yards shy of his first career 1,000-yard season; will become the 8th different Bills player with a 1,000-yard campaign and it would be the 21st overall.

"I'm loving it! It's a change. I'm tired of the heat so I'm looking for something new."

‘The other big story today was the defense. The secondary brought their "A" game with them and shut down a talented Buffalo passing attack. The Bills receiver duo of Eric Moulds and Peerless Price were held to a combined eight catches for 73 yards and zero touchdowns. Aaron Beasley and Sam Garnes both had interceptions on Drew Bledsoe.’

‘So much for the playoffs.’

‘”I’m disappointed we didn’t play better,” lamented guard Ruben Brown, “I would have thought we would have a bit more sense of urgency.”‘

‘OK, so we were right all along. The Buffalo Bills are a year away … at least.’

‘Travis Henry’s third-period touchdown run gave him 10 rushing TDs for the season, making him only the sixth Buffalo back to reach that number in a campaign joining Cookie Gilchrist and O.J. Simpson (twice each), Joe Cribbs, Robb Riddick and Thurman Thomas.’
