Orchard Park, N.Y. — What the Buffalo Bills did to Aaron Rodgers wasn't normal.

The Packers' quarterback doesn't have many off games. He's almost always on the same page with his receivers, and before Sunday he had never had a game in which he threw two interceptions and zero touchdowns. But for the second straight week, the Bills shut down a future Hall of Fame quarterback, and this time, it led to a 21-13 win to improve the team's record to 8-6.

Here's what the Bills were saying about shutting down the likely MVP on Sunday.

Coach Doug Marrone

"We were able to go in and early on we took away some of the stop-nines they were trying to run and get them to the second read. I knew earlier in the week that we were going to play some coverage, two-man and things like that. They hurt us on some of the runs early on because we had to stop them with seven in the box. They did a good job of cutting us off, but overall guys stepped up, guys that weren't even here with us in the beginning."

Safety Aaron Williams

"We were expecting to shut them down. We went up against a Hall of Famer last week, why couldn't we do it again this week? Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback, the best quarterback in the league right now. I knew as long as we had a great communication in the back end and held our guys for an extended period of time I feel like we had this game won.

"It was a team effort. As long as guys do their jobs and nothing more, we're a great defense. In my opinion, I think we're the best defense in the league. As long as everybody is in the same mindset. We're going to be fine.

"I'm so proud of my teammates. We prepared so hard this week. We felt like last week we did a good job as well, but we knew this was another big test for us and we prepared our butts off the whole week. We got together and did everything possible, so it's a big statement game.

"We locked down the receivers. It's hard for a quarterback to be in rhythm when you have nowhere to pass it and you also have a great d-line like ours trying to get to him as fast as possible. It's kind of hard for him to make plays. This game was really about how well our secondary played, and I thought we played great."

Defensie tackle Kyle Williams

"Listen, we had talked about it all week and I think we talked about it on Monday or Tuesday when you guys were in. We're not going to get caught up in the hoopla of who we're playing or the gauntlet of the quarterbacks because we've played great quarterbacks. We've played well against great quarterbacks so the only expectation that we had was to play well and to win a football game and we were able to do that today.

"I think it's a testament to what we do defensively, to Jim Schwartz, and it's a testament to our players. I can tell you I've never been as confident as the last series going in. We go out in the last series, these guys have to time outs and they have to throw the ball. You can't run it, you can't do draws, you don't have enough time on the clock. We've got players up front and I like that matchup."

Linebacker Nigel Bradham

"We definitely have the potential to do it against anybody. The defense and the talent on this team. It's unbelievable what we have. We always know what we can do. We never doubt ourselves."

Defensive end Jerry Hughes

"Our secondary, our back seven played tremendous out there. No fly zone for a reason. Two big weeks back to back they came out ready to produce. It just speaks volume to how those guys prepare back there."

Cornerback Corey Graham

"It's been two weeks in a row we played against probably the best quarterbacks in this league, and we held our own regardless. That's what we have to do . Every time we go out there we have to compete and find a way to make plays and beat your guy.

"That just means we're pretty good then."

Cornerback Stephon Gilmore

"Aaron Rodgers, I think he's the best quarterback in the league right now and we played pretty well against him. We just have to learn from our mistakes and build off of it."
