Bills, Byrd save season with OT win in Arizona - BuffaloBills.com

Gailey: "I'm impressed with the way the team played" - BuffaloBills.com
"My take on the game was it was a gut check. I'm impressed with the way our team fought through adversity. The first play of the game, we fumbled the ball. We played great red zone defense. We didn't play as consistent on offense but did enough good things in all areas to win the game on the road against a good football team. It wasn't pretty at times, but it was a gut check and that may go a long way for our football team."

WGR 550 - HAMILTON: Gailey's Team May Have Saved Him
"While Jay Feely was lining up to win the game with a 38 yard field my thinking was, after the game Chan Gailey should be on his way to Detroit to be relieved of his coaching duties in Buffalo. Feely hits the upright, they go to overtime and Rian Lindell wins it with a 25 yarder. So now with that Buffalo win should that opinion on Gailey change?"
WGR 550 - Sideline Reactions: Bills 19 - Cardinals 16
"Late in the game, I found something rather peculiar. The Bills used six defensive backs against the Cardinals' four-receiver set. Stephon Gilmore was on the right side, Leodis McKelvin and Justin Rogers controlled the slot and Terrence McGee was out left. That means for the entire end of the game, the Bills elected to not use Aaron Williams in a key situation."
