Jackson and Bills roll over Colts - BuffaloBills.com
"Fred Jackson’s big rushing day pushed him up and over 1,000 rushing yards for the season, as he had the first individual 200-yard rushing day since Thurman Thomas had 214 against the Jets in 1990. It’s the seventh highest single-game rushing total in team history. Jackson finished the season with a career-high 1,062 yards."
Empty win does provide more than just cold comfort : Jerry Sullivan : The Buffalo News
"During the second quarter, when the snow was so thick you could barely see the players on the field, there were more people in The Ralph than you'd find on a 70-degree day in September in Jacksonville, or even in Miami." Jerry Sullivan may finally understand.

Why T.O. high-fived fans – Inside The Bills
"Bills fans obviously won Owens over as he genuinely appreciates the support he got here in his one season. Whether fan support is enough to keep in Buffalo remains to be seen, although a certain fan movement in a season finale between the Bills and Bengals was convincing enough to get Takeo Spikes to sign as a free agent seven years ago."

Bills, Jackson clean up against Colts backups : The Buffalo News
"Jackson became the first player in NFL history to have at least 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 kickoff return yards in the same season. His combined yardage total of 2,516 ranks fourth best in NFL history. Jackson finished with 1,062 rushing, 371 receiving, 69 on punt returns and 1,014 on kickoff returns. Lots of players have compiled 1,000 kick return yards in a season, but almost none of them also served as their team's lead running back. Jackson also reached an incentive bonus in his contract for hitting 1,000 yards."

"The Bills ended their string of three consecutive 7-9 seasons with a 6-10 campaign thanks to yesterday's 30-7 win over a back-up version of the Colts, a stretch of 10 consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance, a mark equaled only by the hapless Detroit Lions. "

"Even with Pro Bowl rookie safety Jairus Byrd out of the lineup, as well as all four opening day starters from the secondary, the Buffalo Bills were able to bolster their impressive interception total in Sunday’s season finale." Cary Harris, a sixth-round draft pick, had two interceptions on the day - one from each Colts QB.
Bills' Jackson plows through | IndyStar.com | The Indianapolis Star
"Not only did the Indianapolis Colts absorb a 30-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium, they were run over in the process. The Bills rushed 42 times for 248 yards. Fred Jackson accounted for 212 yards on 33 carries. Only Detroit's Barry Sanders (216 yards in 1997) had done heavier damage."

He liked:
- Fred Jackson. The running back who went to the same college (Coe) as Marv Levy broke through with a 212-yard rushing game that made him the unlikeliest of 1,000-yard backs this year.
- Terrell Owens. He passed Tim Brown for third on the all-time receiving yardage list (14,951) and seemed genuinely humbled after the game, thanking the fans for being nice to him in what's likely his only year in western New York.

- After connecting on a 33-yard field goal in the third quarter, Bills K Rian Lindell topped 1,000 points for his career. He currently has 1,002 career points. (He now has 1005.)
- Fred Jackson isn't the only Bills back to have success on the ground against the Colts today. FB Corey McIntyre - who received the first carry of his five-year NFL career last week - has 32 yards on four carries (including a 25-yard gain).
- Bills WR Terrell Owens on whether he thinks today was his last game in Buffalo: "Well, who knows. ... I've always said that I'd be willing to come back but I think the situation has to be right and I think they've taken a step in the right direction by hiring Buddy Nix as the general manager."

King thinks Cowher’s choices will be limited – Inside The Bills
"'I think it’s going to be kind of a Charcoal-Grey Monday because there aren’t going to be a lot of firings,' SI.com's Peter King said. Then King pretending to be Cowher added this comment. (King as Cowher) 'If I want to coach this coming year, I may have to coach in Buffalo.'"
Schottenheimer has itch to coach? – Inside The Bills
"Chris Moretneson said yesterday, 'And, yes, Marty has the hunger to coach again, no matter what he’s stated publicly, sources said.' He also has one of the best winning percentages in football at .613 of coaches in the modern era that have coached more than 100 games. Only Cowher has a better mark at .623."
Fewell to interview early this week - BuffaloBills.com
"Fewell led the Bills to a 3-4 mark over the final seven games with wins over Miami, Kansas City and Indianapolis on Sunday. He was proud of the heart his team showed in the season finale despite the fact that there was no bearing on the outcome of the game." He will interview "sometime this week" with that meeting expected to take place today.
Bills, Cowher have spoken; remains long shot for opening : Buffalo Bills : The Buffalo News
"It's still widely viewed as unlikely that Cowher will strike a deal with the Bills, for a variety of reasons. The Bills will be a big building job for any coach, they have no proven starting quarterback...." Tom Modrak's relationship with Cowher and Buddy Nix's relationship with Cowher's mentor, Marty Schottenheimer, could interest the man.
