ORCHARD PARK Devin Singletary Jersey Draft , N.Y. (AP)With his personal chase for 10,000 career yards rushing out of the way, LeSean McCoy can turn his focus on reaching an even better destination: the playoffs. McCoy scored twice and became the 30th player to hit 10,000, while keeping the Buffalo Bills firmly in the AFC playoff picture following a 24-16 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. ”I’m happy it’s done,” McCoy said of his personal accomplishment. ”Now I look forward to trying to get in these playoffs. We took care of business today.”Article continues below ... Tyrod Taylor showed no signs of a bruised left knee that sidelined him for one game. The quarterback went 17 of 29 for 224 yards passing and a touchdown. He added 42 yards rushing and scored on a 9-yard scamper in a game Buffalo never trailed. On defense, Buffalo intercepted Jay Cutler to end Miami’s first two possessions of the second half. Then, rookie Tre’Davious White sealed the win with an interception with 28 seconds remaining – and a play after Miami punter Matt Haack recovered an onside kick at Miami’s 37. The loss all but mathematically eliminated the Dolphins (6-8) from playoff contention; they ended a seven-year drought last season. Buffalo improved to 8-6 to match the team’s best record through 14 games during the team’s 17-year playoff drought – the longest active streak in North America’s four major professional sports. The Bills were 8-6 in both 2004 and 2014 but missed the playoffs with 9-7 finishes. Buffalo 6-2 home record was its best finish at Orchard Park since 1999. The Bills now hit the road to continue their playoff pursuit in closing the season at New England next week and then at Miami on Dec. 31. Frustration began to settle in for the Dolphins. They were undone by familiar inconsistencies at quarterback and on defense, while looking nothing like the team that stunned New England 27-20 on Monday night. ”We just made too many mistakes,” Ndamukong Suh said of a defense that allowed the Bills to convert 7 of 15 third-down opportunities after limiting its past two opponents to convert 1 of 24. ”A loss is a loss no matter when it is,” receiver Jarvis Landry added of an offense that needed five snaps from inside the Bills 5 to finally score its first touchdown on Kenyan Drake’s 1-yard run with 7:03 remaining. ”Obviously, we knew everything that was at stake and we didn’t make it happen.” McCoy opened the scoring with a 4-yard run to cap Buffalo’s opening drive. Then, he put Buffalo up 14-6 with a 16-yard catch with 6:05 left in the second quarter on a drive during which McCoy became the 30th player to break the 10 Devin Singletary NFL Jersey ,000-yard rushing milestone. The ninth-year player reached the plateau with a 14-yard burst off right guard . McCoy said he got the wind knocked out of him while being tackled by Kiko Alonso. After missing just one snap, McCoy returned and scored two plays later. McCoy finished with 50 yards rushing, upping his career total to 10,011, and had four catches for 46 yards. Richie Incognito not only enjoyed a front-row seat in watching McCoy burst past him on his way to his 10,000th yard, the veteran right guard was impressed by the resolve the Bills have shown in exceeding low preseason expectations. ”If I would’ve told you guys we’re going to be 6-2 at home back in August, I think you guys would have laughed at us,” he said. ”No one’s laughing now,” Incognito added. ”We’re cruising, man. All eyes on the prize.” THURMAN ON SHADY Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas had no difficulty putting McCoy’s value to Buffalo into perspective. ”We’re not talking about being in the playoff race right now and we’re not leading the league the past years,” Thomas said. ”We’re not doing that if we don’t have him with the Buffalo Bills.” LAST HURRAH? Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams wasn’t prepared to say if he might have played his final game at New Era Field. The 12-year veteran contemplated retiring after last season and is in the final year of his contract. Williams did take issue with teammate Adolphus Washington drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for attempting to punch the ball out of Drake’s hands while the running back was on the sideline after being stopped at the 1. ”That’s dumb football no matter what happened or what that penalty was,” Williams said. ”I don’t care if they talk ugly about your mother. Handle it after the game.” DOLPHINS IN DECEMBER Miami dropped to 4-9 in games played at Orchard Park Devin Singletary NFL Draft , New York, in December or later. INJURIES Dolphins: CB T.J.

McCourty started 14 games in one season with Cleveland.Dorsey called the recent wave of activity ”just the first phase” in rebuilding the Browns, who have gone 4-44 over the past three seasons. Talent has been brought in to Cleveland, and like so many GMs and coaches before him, Dorsey said there is a feeling of renewal.”You can feel a certain energy in the building,” he said. ”That is what I always like about this period when new guys come in here and guys are really excited to be here and I really appreciate that.”Until those guys come together in training camp and the OTA sessions because every team’s identity is different year in and year out. Just meeting those guys today, I can understand that they are going to help us and help us achieve our ultimate goals.”Jackson has been invigorated by the infusion of talent, especially by the additions of Taylor and Landry, a combo that could transform the Browns.”It gives me back my swag,” joked Jackson, who is 1-31 in two seasons. ”His nickname is Juice Landry. He does have juice. He is a tremendous football player. Obviously Color Rush Devin Singletary Jersey , his stats speak for themselves. He is a proven football player in the building who has a lot of intensity and a lot of pride about what he does. You look at Tyrod and the way he carries himself, you can tell he is very proud of is accomplishments.”I know everybody is talking about the past and what has gone on here. I don’t think that is what fazes him. He has been in tough situations before. We all understand the situation we are in. We have a lot of work to do. Those are two guys that you start to turn and change the narrative with and change the culture with.”NOTES: One day after retiring, Thomas was at the team’s facility working with T Shon Coleman, who could switch to left tackle after starting 16 games on the right side last season. Jackson said he’s told Thomas to hang around as much as he wants. ”This is still his football team,” Jackson said. ”His locker will stay the same. His place on the plane will be the same if he wants to go. That is how much I think of Joe Thomas. He will be missed.” …Dorsey sidestepped a few questions about upcoming workouts for college QBs. Because he was focused on free agency, he did not attend sessions for Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield or UCLA’s Josh Rosen, two of the top four prospects. ”There are also private workouts, too,” he said.—
