ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady can wait.Rather than peeking too far ahead at the Buffalo Bills daunting closing stretch, coach Doug Marrone is focused solely on his teams most immediate concern: Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.Youre way ahead of me, Marrone said Monday, a day after a 26-10 win over Cleveland. Im not looking at the last quarter (of the season), Im just looking at this upcoming game. And our challenge is were playing one of the best teams in the NFL.Having won two straight, the Bills (7-5) are in the thick of a tightly contested AFC playoff picture, and enter December with a winning record for the first time since they were 7-5 in 2000.On the downside, they will be hard-pressed to stay in the mix with a schedule that features three 9-3 division leaders — Denver, on Sunday, Green Bay, on Dec. 14, and a season-ender at New England — and rounded out with a game at Oakland (1-11) on Dec. 21.Bring them on, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said.If its daunting and youre worried or youre scared about it, I dont want to play with you, Williams said. Its a challenge obviously. Great players. But we feel like were pretty good players, too.The defences readiness shouldnt be a concern. Its producing at an elite level in leading the NFL with 48 sacks and ranking in the top 10 in nearly every statistical category except fourth-down efficiency. Opponents have converted 4 of 8 fourth-down chances, which puts Buffalo 15th.Its the offences lack of consistency that continues to be a worry, and raising questions as to how quarterback Kyle Orton and Co. might be able to keep pace with some of the NFLs most potent offences.I think we need our offence to be consistent to match up against anybody really, Marrone said.Thats not been the case for a unit whose production is starting to dip.After averaging 331 yards through its first nine games, Buffalo has managed just 287 yards in its past three.The Bills are having difficulty gaining first downs, having topped 20 in a game just three times this year. Their red-zone production has been an issue all season.After scoring just one touchdown on five red-zone opportunities against the Browns, the Bills have managed just 18 TDs on 44 drives inside an opponents 20.And Buffalos one-time strength of a running attack is producing at a pedestrian pace in averaging just 98 yards rushing.The troubles were particularly evident against Cleveland. After being shut out in the first half, the offence scored one touchdown and four field goals.None of us were happy with our performance in the first half, and even some of the things in the second half, Marrone said. It goes back to the same thing: Weve got to be able to finish.The Bills defence instead continued bailing out the offence.Defensive end Jerry Hughes returned a fumble 18 yards for a touchdown. The defence didnt give up a point on either of Buffalos two turnovers — both Orton interceptions. And it forced six punts, while allowing the Browns to cross midfield just four times.NOTES: WR Sammy Watkins (hip) and DT Marcell Dareus (hip) continued playing despite being hurt against the Browns. Marrone said its too early to determine whether either will miss practice time this week. ... Marrone gave his players the day off Monday. ... The Browns converted just 3 of 12 third-down chances. The Bills have gone 14 straight games since allowing an opponent to convert more than half of its third-down opportunities.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Air Max 720 Moins Cher .
