“No, (laughter) I mean, some people do, but I don’t,” he said. “Especially like the pickle juice wasn’t even cold. So, I mean, just think about drinking hot pickle juice. Right? It’s already bad but then you drink it hot. But other than that, I think you got to do whatever you got to do to not cramp.”
BILLS COACH EXPLAINS TIRADE
Assuming by now that everybody has seen the video clip of Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey — how shall we say it? — physically expressing his frustration after the conclusion of the game Sunday, the former University of Miami quarterback explained what happened during a media session Monday.
“I’m up in the box, I’m watching my guys down there just give us everything they possibly have in ’em with effort and from start to finish, playing 90 something snaps in the game,” Dorsey said. “And it was a playoff atmosphere, a lot of credit to the Miami Dolphins, and obviously, we weren’t on the winning end of it, so it’s frustrating that I reacted that way and, obviously, that’s something that I’m definitely gonna learn from.
“And I don’t ever want to take the passion out of the game, we’re all on this to win football games obviously for the Bills, for our fans, and we’re gonna give them everything we got, but it’s something I’m gonna learn from him and make sure let’s correct moving forward.”
One quick note on the play that ended the game, with Melvin Ingram tackling Isaiah McKenzie in bounds and leaving the time without enough time to line up to spike the ball: Kudos to Xavien Howard for getting upfield and cutting off McKenzie’s angle.
Look at the replay and it appears as though Howard likely would have prevented McKenzie from getting to the sideline before bringing him down, which prompted McKenzie to cut inside upfield and gave Ingram the chance to catch him from behind.

THEY SAID IT …
WR River Cracraft on Tua Tagovailoa’s touchdown pass to him: “It was a dart, man. Tua is a dangerous man back there and I was glad to be on the other end of it.”’
G Robert Hunt on veteran LB Melvin Ingram: “Mel is a dawg, man. He’s really good. He’s been good. We all know he’s been good in his league for a while, and he can play, man. He can just flat out play. Lining up against him in camp, you got to be with it because he can do a lot of different things. He can power, he can rush to like get the edge. He’s a dangerous rusher, man. He’s good. He’s really good.”
LB Duke Riley on Tua’s singing ability: “I’m telling y’all right now, he can sing his tail off. (laughter) Tua is a funny, man. Y’all don’t even know. I wish everybody knew. I’m just fortunate enough that I know. He can sing and he can sing any song. I’ve seen his dude sing some crazy stuff that you would never even know. And it just lets you know how good his energy is and how positive he is and how much of a great person he is and how his family raised him. I love Tua, man. I love Tua.”
LB Jerome Baker on the defensive effort against Buffalo with a lot of yards allowed but not that many points: “As a defensive player, of course, we’re not happy about that. If we get off the field more, we have less snaps and it’s just a trickledown effect. If we just lock in and do a little better, it’d be easier on a lot of us. So am I happy with the performance we had? It’s whatever. At the end the day, we won. So that’s all that matters. We definitely got to just play better Thursday. It’s going to be a good challenge for us.”
