Former Bills defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell presented Bruce Smith for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and declared him “the best Buffalo Bill player ever.”

Had San Diego kept Drew Brees instead of allowing him to sign with New Orleans, it’s possible the Chargers secondary would not have gotten carved up the way it did Sunday in London.

And once it did get shredded, it became the final straw in the team deciding to fire defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell and promoting linebackers coach Ron Rivera to defensive coordinator.
