Coaches:

Tom Coughlin (New York Giants) - The Giants dropped their 2nd straight game with a 31-21 loss in Dallas to the Division leading Cowboys. The Giants' record now sits at 3-4 (1-3 on the road) & they remain in 3rd place in the NFC East. The Giants enter their Bye-Week where they will need all the time to prepare for the Indianapolis Colts who could be on 6 game win streak when they face-off Monday Night Nov. 3. (Coughlin did not use coaches challenge.)

Doug Marrone (Buffalo Bills) - The Bills squeaked out a W when Kyle Orton found Sammy Watkins for the game tying touchdown with 1 second remaining, the extra point gave the Bills the 17-16 victory. The Bills improve to 4-3 (2-2 at home) & 2nd place in the AFC East. The Bills will have to find a new RB (Spiller & Jackson injured) as they travel to MetLife Stadium (Syracuse 2nd Home) to face the NY Jets on Sunday who have lost 6 straight. (Marrone unsuccessfully challenged a pass completion on 1st play of the 4th Quarter & the play was upheld making it Marrone's first incorrect challenge this season.)

Rob Moore (Buffalo Bills) - The Bills receivers produced 2-TDs including the game winner with 1 second left. The WR trio of Chris Hogan [37 snaps], Sammy Watkins [70 snaps] & Robert Woods [64 snaps] combined for 18 catches on 25 targets for 195 yards. Mike Williams was the only other WR to play [5 snaps]. Watkins scored both TDs & led the WRs in receptions (9), receiving yards (122) & targets (14).
