“You would’ve had to peel me off that field. It was never in my mind that, ‘Yeah, I’m not finishing this game.’” Mike White’s toughness was on full display against the Bills, as he returned twice following multiple big hits from Buffalo defenders
Yet, the quarterback was confident he could remain in the contested 20–12 loss to the team’s AFC East rival despite the scary moments. And his on-field leadership earned him praise from his teammates, though he suffered a ribs injury in the matchup.
“I knew, if everything was fine, I was going in,” White said Monday. “You would’ve had to peel me off that field. It was never in my mind that, ‘Yeah, I’m not finishing this game.’” The first hit that White took only knocked him out for a few plays, but he was able to return during the same offensive series. The second hit, though, seemed much more serious, as he needed to go to the locker room to get X-rays.
Bills linebacker Matt Milano’s tackle was deemed clean by officials, and White said he had no problem with the hit.
