Johnson On His Benching: Stevie Johnson said after the game that he didn't know it would draw a penalty and it is hurting him that it hurt his team and his teammates. He respected Coach Gailey's decision to sit him the rest of the game. He can't wine and pout about it. It doesn't matter why a penalty was called he just has to take his punishment and is upset it hurt the team. He hopes his play on the field determines his future and not the benching but he admitted he doesn't know. It was hard for him to stand by his guys knowing he should be out there. His teammates said they had his back but inside he felt bad by the decision he made. He said he lives and he learns. He said he knew Gailey's rule about benching players who have demonstration penalties and he respects it. He re-iterated as of now he is a Buffalo Bill.

Gailey On Benching: Chan Gailey was asked about the benching of Stevie Johnson during his post game press conference. He said after the issue earlier in the season that anyone that got a demonstration penalty would be out for the rest of the game. Since he said that he was going to do it so Johnson was out. He was disappointed that it happened. He did defend Johnson somewhat saying he didn't get a penalty last year when he put a message on his shirt but he did this year so he would want to know which way is it, a penalty or not. When asked if he is getting tired of the theatrics he said he was tired the first time he did it. Gailey said Johnson's a good guy that uses bad judgement sometimes and it hurts the team. He said he has to learn from his mistakes and he doesn't seem to be learning from it. When asked if this affects him wanting Johnson next year, Gailey said that they will talk about the future in the days ahead.

Patriots Blow By Bills 49-21: The Patriots scored 49 unanswered points as they overcame an early 21-0 deficit to blow by the Bills 49-21 and clinch homefield throughout the playoffs. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four second half interceptions, the first two led to short touchdown drives and the third was returned for a score and the fourth put an exclamation point on the 6-10 season. The Bills came out like gang busters scoring three first quarter touchdowns to build a big early lead. Fitzpatrick was on his game early and followed a Tashard Choice 4 yard touchdown run with an 18 yard touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson and a 15 yard catch and run for a score by C.J. Spiller. Johnson was called for an excessive celebration penalty after his score and was benched for the rest of the game by Chan Gailey. The Patriots started their journey to back with two second quarter touchdowns. Two Steven Gostkowski field goals pulled them within one point late in the third before Fitz's miscues gave the Patriots total control of the game. Western New York native Rob Gronkowski scored two touchdowns for the Patriots. Tom Brady threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns. Bills Blitz.

Chandler Hurt: Scott Chandler left the game in the first half with a knee injury and did not return. Ruvell Martin hurt what appeared to be his left hand or wrist in the first quarter.
