Sports Roundup: Bills may have committed noise violations against Patriots – Boston.com

Rex Ryan again says he doesn’t know Dion Lewis’s name after the New England Patriots’ 40-32 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. NBC Sports’ Mike Florio stirs up controversy over the sound of train horns. Jackie Bradley Jr. ends his slump.

Did the Bills get away with pumping in too much noise into Ralph Wilson stadium? “In the aftermath of the odyssey known as #DeflateGate and the short-lived phenomenon known as #HeadsetGate, two things were clear: (1) anyone who loses in Gillette Stadium can try to blame it not on their own failure to perform but on cheating; and (2) anyone who hosts the Patriots can take liberties with the rules and there’s nothing the Patriots can say about it.” (ProFootballTalk.com)

Patriots’ defensive front seven wins 1-on-1 matchups against Bills: “Ryan had boasted of his impressive defense, but it was New England’s unit that made most of the plays. In particular, linebackers Jamie Collins (8 tackles, 2½ sacks) and Dont’a Hightower (8 tackles, ½-sack) and defensive end Chandler Jones (5 tackles, 3 sacks) were flying around and jolting everything in sight all afternoon.” (The Boston Globe

Jackie Bradley Jr. finds his swing in Red Sox’s 7-6 win: “Bradley came into Saturday’s game marred in a 1-for-30 slump with 17 strikeouts. But after doubling to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh inning, Bradley came up again in the ninth with one on and one out and crushed a home run to right field that landed in the upper-deck.” (CSNNE.com)

Rex Ryan says he ‘still doesn’t know’ Dion Lewis’s name: “Lewis was again one of the most pivotal players on offense, and a key target for Tom Brady, as he caught six passes for 98 yards in the Patriots’ 40-32 win against the Buffalo Bills. He also rushed seven times for 40 yards, with a nifty 6-yard touchdown run in the mix.” (Boston Herald

Bill Belichick wasted no time praising the offensive line: “Bill Belichick often says he has to review the tape before commenting on the performance of players or how a unit executed. He made an exception of sorts after the New England Patriots’ 40-32 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Asked about the offensive line, he said, ‘I thought they did a pretty good job. If I remember correctly, I don’t think either sack had anything to do with the offensive line.’” (ESPNBoston.com)

Rob Gronkowski calls Julian Edelman a ‘beastly performer,’ downplays his own 113-yard, one-touchdown outing: “’They’ve got a very good defense — they go out there and play hard,’ Gronkowski said after the game. ‘They were switching it up: zone, man. We were just executing on offense. We had to go out there and make plays no matter what it was out there. We just have to worry about ourselves on offense and do what we had to do.’” (WEEI.com)

Claude Julien sends message to griping Bruins prospect Alex Khokhlachev: “‘I don’t think we’ve ever deprived anybody from getting a fair shot,’ said Julien. ‘There’s a lot more to hockey than just stats. We have to do our jobs in giving these guys a fair shot, and they have to do the job to earn themselves a fair shot.’” (CSNNE.com)
