ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills held a moment of silence before the game to honor Florida International linebacker Luke Knox, who died on Wednesday.
Knox is the younger brother of Bills tight end Dawson Knox, who has been excused from the team to be with his family. Bills fans have rallied to Knox’s support by donating more than $100,000 to the P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative, a charity supported by the tight end.
Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney was spotted entering the stadium wearing a T-shirt, with “Long Live Luke” printed on the front.
KEENUM'S COMEBACK
It was a bounce-back outing for quarterback Case Keenum, who threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in a 27-24 win over Indianapolis last week.
“I thought Dorsey was dialing them up with some great play calls,” said Keenum, who also got a chance to play with the starters during his first series. “I think those were priceless reps that you don’t get very often, so I wanted to make the most of them.”
