Last week

Keep your eye on ...
Edwards' post-concussion play:Bills QB Trent Edwards is expected to play Sunday, having had two weeks to recover from a concussion suffered in the first quarter of Week 5. Edwards had been solid during the first four weeks of the season, completing 66.4 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Philip's pocket: San Diego's success passing the ball against the Patriots was largely a product of its offensive line, which did not allow a single sack on Rivers in 27 pass attempts. The Bills, who are averaging just two sacks per game, could be without last year's sack leader Aaron Schobel, who is still recovering from a left foot injury.
Buffalo's secondary concern: San Diego's three passing plays of 40-plus yards against the Patriots (without Chris Chambers, no less) should be a little disconcerting for the Bills, who could be without a couple key defensive backs. Starting CB Terrence McGee is dealing with a sprained left knee, while safety Ko Simpson is recovering from a hamstring injury.
