ability accurately ahead anytime ball bills cap field goes hand kid picked picks prove somebody throw tip
Anytime somebody picks somebody else over you, it's motivating. The Bills went and picked this young kid to play ahead of me. I don't think it was the right decision. I still don't. I want to go out and prove I can still get it done. The ability to throw the ball effectively, accurately and all over the field is still there. When that goes away, I think you'll see me tip my cap and hand it off to somebody else.

I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go.

I've never had a big receiver like that,
afraid anyone ball bill chance felt history obviously people pigeonhole plays points run threw trick turned wants
People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.

Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.

Bill challenged us a little bit, that this week was a little bit different than the others. The fact that our team answered that challenge, I think, says something about us.
