Chan on Fitz’s future
Bills head coach Chan Gailey was asked if he could imagine Ryan Fitzpatrick not being his starter at quarterback next year.

Chan on Stevie’s “creativity”
Almost as impressive as Stevie Johnson’s production this season has been the wide receiver’s creativity when it comes to his extracurricular touchdown activities.
