He led Denver to a pair of touchdowns, the other a one-yard run from McGahee. Quinn was moved up to second string instead of Tebow for this game and came in for the final possession of the second qu |

White's helmet was driven into the ground. He lay motionless for several minutes while the team's medical staff strapped him to a |

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) - With Lee Evans traded to Baltimore, look which Buffalo Bills receiver has suddenly turned serious about his new role as the team's top threat. It's Stevie Johnson, the same player who poked fun at anything serious a year ago. That's when upon scoring the first of his three touchdowns in a win over Cincinnati, Johnson pulled up his jersey to display the words ``Why So Serious?'' printed on his undershirt. That was last year. Johnson's now taking a ``business first'' approach ente |

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman will miss the team's preseason game at Denver on Saturday to rest a sore right knee. Coach Chan Gailey calls the decision to rest Merriman a precaution. He adds Merriman would have likely played if this were a regular-season game. Merriman has missed the past two days since hurting his knee during a pass-rushing drill. He had two sacks in Buffalo's 10-3 preseason-opening loss at Chicago last weekend. Receiver Roscoe Parrish will also si |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - In Saturday's preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears twice kicked off from their own 30-yard line. The Bears were in clear violation of a new rule that requires teams to kick off from the 35-yard line. The rule is intended to increase the number of touchbacks, thus decreasing the number of violent collisions between players. Apparently Chicago had received permission from the game's officiating crew to kick from the 30-yard line, which had been the |
