Downing the Dolphins is always a step forward - Jerry Sullivan - The Buffalo News
"The rivalry isn't what it used to be. We all know that... But you know what? I could almost feel those old emotions bubbling up in the fans Sunday. The Bills beat Miami, 17-14, and it felt different somehow, more meaningful than the wins over Detroit and Cleveland and Cincinnati."

"Our goal was to go out and prove we were not the team that everybody saw in the first half of the season," said head coach Chan Gailey. "The only way to prove it is to win games. You can talk about getting better. You can talk about improving, but if you don’t win, everybody goes, ‘Yeah, so what.’ I’m glad that these guys have some wins now to be able to back that up."

Inside The Bills | Byrd says D-line was key
"The D-line did a heck of a job making them one dimensional. Just hats off to the front," said Byrd. "They did a heck of a job; the front seven. We were able to feed off of them. Once they stopped that run, they had to abort what they really wanted to do and go to a different game plan."

Wilson likes progress of his no-names - Sports - The Buffalo News
"It's always good to win a game, and I tell you what, what is hard for me to figure out is how we can win these games when we started out with no players," Wilson said with a hearty laugh. "Our drafts in the last 10 years have been terrible. So I mean, these guys, before each play you read the scorecard to see who's in there. That's what amazes me. We pick up a guy in the middle of the week and he starts on Sunday."
