Bills' DE Hughes primed for 'slobber-knocker' against Pats

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — If this is the end of the line for Jerry Hughes’ career, the Buffalo Bills defensive end is primed for the playoffs.

Whether it’s facing the rival New England Patriots for a third time in seven weeks or the prospect of playing in potentially sub-zero temperatures on Saturday night, the 12th-year veteran is eager to take both head on.

“Spend some time outside, take off your pants, get in some shorts and enjoy that weather, really embrace it,” Hughes said of preparing for what could be the coldest game in Bills' history.
