That's one behind Seattle's Russell Wilson for the most in the NFL over that span.

They went without one over the final eight games last season Womens Eric Kendricks Jersey , including the playoffs.NOT LIKE THAT: Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White yelled "You like that?" several times as he made his way to the locker room , a playful-but-frontal taunt at Cousins and the celebratory phrase he developed during his days with Washington and eventually had trademarked ."That's pretty much the most common thing I hear on the field and when I play in the league. I hear that in offseason meetings," said Cousins, who finished 40 for 55 for 296 yards, an interception and a late touchdown to Kyle Rudolph .ALLEN AIRBORNE: Allen joined Trent Edwards (Nov. 23, 2008 against Kansas City) as the only Bills quarterbacks to rush for two touchdowns in one game since the 1970 merger. He dived to finish a 10-yard run by beating Anthony Barr to the pylon for a touchdown at the end of their first possession. In the second quarter, Allen leaped over the goal line on fourth down for a 1-yard score. That drive was extended by his third-and-9 hurdle over Barr to land past the first-down marker.GAME BALL: Bills head coach Sean McDermott gave the game ball to defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier , for his effort in the preparation and strategy after taking over play-calling duty at halftime last week with the Bills trailing 28-6. Frazier resumed the responsibility at Minnesota, though McDermott is a constant collaborator."Kudos to our team for not falling apart with everything that happened last week," Frazier said.The only time the Vikings have beaten the Bills in five matchups since 2000 was at the Metrodome in 2010, a 38-14 victory that was Frazier's first home game as head coach after being promoted to replace the fired Brad Childress.
