Coaches:

Tom Coughlin (New York Giants) - Tom Coughlin became just the 13th person in NFL history to coach 300 games & it just so happened the Giants were facing the only other team Coughlin was NFL head coach of from 1995-2002 & that was the Jacksonville Jaguars where he went 68-60 highlighted by 2 AFC Championship game appearances in 96 & 99. Coughlin is in his 11th & possibly final season with the Giants who lost to his former team 25-24 thanks to a FG with :28 left. This marks the 7th straight loss for the Giants who led 21-0 midway through the second 2nd Quarter, they now fall to 3-9 (1-5 on the road) & remain tied for 3rd in the NFC East with Washington. The Giants will look to bounce back as they travel to Tennessee to face the 2-10 Titans. (Coughlin did not use coaches challenge)

Doug Marrone (Buffalo Bills) - The Bills returned to Buffalo for a real home game & 26-10 victory of the Cleveland Browns. The Bills 2nd straight win helps them improve to 7-5 (4-3 at home) & are tied for 2rd place in the AFC East with the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo stays alive in the AFC Playoff race which has 6 teams tied for the final spot. The Bills have one of the toughest schedules remaining as they play @ Denver (9-3), vs. Green Bay (9-3), @ Oakland (1-11) & @ New England (9-3). (Marrone did not use coaches challenge.)

Rob Moore (Buffalo Bills) - The Bills offense waited a whole half to get things going as Chris Hogan scored a TD on a 3 yd pass for the only WR score of the game as well as only offensive score that wasn't FGs. The Bills started 2 WRs, Sammy Watkins [65 snaps] & Robert Woods [58 snaps]. Chris Hogan [36 snaps] & Marquise Goodwin [2 snaps] also took part in the offense. The WRs combined for 9 catches on 20 targets for 90 yards & 1 TD. Hogan scored the only TD & Woods led the WRs in receiving yards (71), receptions (4) & Watkins led in targets (9).
