Factoid
Say what you will about Terrell Owens being a cancer, headache or pain in the rear. But he’s gotten results.
In the last 10 years, only 22 receivers have caught half of their team’s touchdown passes. Owens has done it three times. He makes plays, and he gets in the end zone.
And for that reason (and with Owens having signed a one-year contract), this looks like a nice gamble by the Bills.
