ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills coach Rex Ryan is having difficulty assessing why his prized defense is playing so inconsistently.One week, Miamis Jay Ajayi gained 214 yards rushing against Buffalo. The next, New England quarterback Tom Brady piled up 315 yards and four touchdowns passing.We know we have to play better, and especially against an opponent like that, Ryan said Monday, a day after Buffalo gave up five touchdowns in a 41-25 loss to New England . What was really disappointing to me is that we played poorly, its as simple as that.This isnt what Ryan expected from a unit he vowed would be much improved over last seasons high-priced defense, which finished 19th in the NFL in yards allowed. It was the worst end-of-season ranking in Ryans 11 seasons as a coach or coordinator.The numbers dont look much more promising halfway through this season with the Bills (4-4) preparing to travel to Seattle for a prime-time showdown on Nov. 7. Buffalo is 16th in yards allowed per game at 360.3, including 25th in rushing yards allowed per game with 118.4.In losing the past two games, Buffalo has surrendered a combined 811 yards offense and eight touchdowns without managing a takeaway.Thats a departure from how productive the defense played during a four-game winning streak that ended with a 28-25 loss to Miami on Oct. 23.In those four wins, Buffalo combined to allow four touchdowns, force 10 takeaways (four fumbles and six interceptions) and limit opponents to converting 13 of 52 third-down chances.In four losses, Buffalo has given up 13 touchdowns, forced just two takeaways (both fumbles) and had opponents convert 28 of 53 third-down chances.It was the Bills inability to stop the Patriots on third down that stung Ryan most.Brady converted New Englands first five third-down opportunities and nine of 12 overall before giving way to backup Jimmy Garoppolo in the fourth quarter.In the first half alone, Brady completed 6 of 6 attempts for 111 yards with two touchdowns and was sacked twice on third down. One of his touchdowns was a 53-yarder up the left sideline to Chris Hogan on third-and-13.Thats inexcusable, Ryan said.Things didnt get much better in the second half, when the Patriots converted three third-down opportunities because of penalties, including Buffalo being flagged for having 12 men on the field.We cant win like that. Theres no way. Weve got to be smart, Ryan said. If we get beat physically, thats one thing. But when you contribute to some of the mistakes or some of their big plays, we have to get better.The coach took some of the blame.Without being specific, Ryan made what he called a tactical mistake in departing from his game plan once Buffalos top pass-rushing threat, linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, was sidelined by a hamstring injury during a punt return early in the second quarter.I know I can do better, he said.Ryan also regretted the decision to continue having Alexander play a dual role on defense and special teams.The 33-year-old Alexander entered the game with an NFL-leading nine sacks, doubling the number he had in his first nine seasons.Ryan didnt have an update on Alexanders status.If he cant play, rookie first-round pick Shaq Lawson will have to fill in. Lawson has played limited time the past two games and had been out since having surgery to repair a shoulder injury in May.Against New England, Lawson had his first career sack but was also flagged for roughing the passer on a third-and-7.Ryan also didnt provide updates on running back LeSean McCoy, who did not play against New England because of a left hamstring injury, or backup Reggie Bush, who hurt his groin on Sunday.Game notesA few days after cutting Ed Eagan, the Bills signed the receiver and TE Manasseh Garner to their practice squad. ...

In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves.New Zealand women 223 for 5 (Satterthwaite 123, Sadia Yousuf 3-49) beat Pakistan women 220 (Zafar 50, Javeria Khan 50, Newton 5-31, Kerr 4-42)Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Amy Satterthwaite led New Zealand women - as captain, and with the bat - to a win in the last match of the ODI series against Pakistan in Nelson, helping them complete a 5-0 series sweep.Satterthwaite became the first woman to score three centuries in consecutive innings in ODIs. Opening in place of regular captain Suzie Bates, who sat out of the game, Satterthwaite struck 18 fours in her 99-ball 123 after Pakistan had won the toss and set New Zealand 221 to win. New Zealand chased it down in the 39th over.Earlier, medium-pacer Thamsyn Newton and 16-year-old legspinner Amelia Kerr both picked up career-best figures - Newton took 5 for 31, Kerr took 4 for 42 - to subdue Pakistan after they had got off to a strong start. Ayesha Zafar (50), Javeria Khan (50) and Nahida Khan (31), the top three in the order, were responsible for that. But Newton and Kerr struck regularly as Pakistan went from 157 for 2 to to being bowled out for 220 in the 50th over.New Zealands chase was powered by Satterthwaite, who scored most more than half the runs requirred, having begun by monopolising an opening partnership of 73 with Sam Curtis (9) that took only 9.dddddddddddd2 overs. She then put on 53 for the fourth wicket with Katie Perkins - the second-highest scorer, with her 23 - to bring New Zealand within 35 runs of the target before Sadia Yousuf (3-49) broke the stand. The left-arm spinner dismissed Satterthwaite shortly after, but New Zealand had no trouble chasing the target down.When asked about what the record means to her, Satterthwaite said she was happy, but New Zealands performance as a team had impressed her more, particularly in the absence of some stalwarts.Its always nice to achieve something like that, but at the end of the day, you just want to put your best performances to contribute to a team win, Satterthwaite said. It was great for our team to get a win without having Suzie (Bates) and Rachel (Priest). Theyre important players for us and to perform like that without them was great.This was both teams last ICC Womens Championship fixture, and the win sealed third spot for New Zealand. Pakistan finished in seventh place. ' ' '
