acquired WR Jordan Matthews. He remains Week to Week with a chest injury.
OT Cordy Glenn is the other as he continues to battle a nagging foot injury.
The first team unit saw a decent amount of playing time, but as usual, did not expose themselves too much.

TJ Yates threw the Bills’ lone TD pass in the 4th quarter to Brandon Riley, who did nothing but help himself. Yates also threw one INT.

The team must fix that by September or they are in big trouble.
The Bills threw three interceptions and lost a fumble.
