Bottom left: The Buffalo Bills' task of taking down the defending Super Bowl champions on Sunday was never going to be easy. That task just got tougher on Friday, with the team ruling out defensive tackle Star Lotulelei with a toe injury. Lotulelei suffered the injury during last week's loss to the New England Patriots.

Bottom right: Tage Thompson battles for the puck during Friday's game between the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Rangers at the KeyBank Center. The contest marked the sixth consecutive loss for the Sabres, whose apparent game-tying goal with 56.2 left in the 3rd period was disallowed after the play was determined to be offside following a video review. The Sabres wound up losing 2-1. Photo by the Buffalo Sabres
