ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A frustrated Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was recorded as saying, Im done talking as he walked away from the podium after his regular Wednesday news conference.Taylor also threw down his practice jersey that he had taken off before speaking to reporters.It is unclear whether Taylor meant he was done speaking to reporters for the day or for the remainder of the season. The NFLs media policy prohibits players from boycotting the media during the regular season.Taylor said Wednesday that he should be judged on wins and losses and noted that the Bills, at 6-6 and in 11th place in the AFC, still have a chance for the postseason. When a reporter began to ask a follow-up question about how Taylor will be judged if the Bills miss the playoffs, the quarterback cut off the question and responded, this week, fellas. This week. Talk about this week.Now 26 games into his career as the Bills starting quarterback, Taylor has posted a 14-12 record but has seen a decline in several key statistics, including completion percentage, yards per pass attempt, touchdowns and passer rating. Overall, the Bills average 181.5 passing yards per game, which ranks 32nd in the NFL.Taylor deflected several other questions during the Wednesday news conference about his performance in recent games, including Sundays 38-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders. After completing eight of nine passes in the first quarter, Taylor went 10-of-26 passing for 89 yards over the final three quarters and finished the game with a 55.8 quarterback rating. He was testy with reporters after the game, responding with short or one-word answers to some questions.Ive taken everything that yall have stood up here and asked me, right in the chest, he said Wednesday. It doesnt affect me emotionally or physically. I take that every week. Whoever yall want to blame, Ill take that. Like I said, my job is to get the team into a position where we can win Sundays. Can I be better, yes? But it doesnt just take me; its a collective effort out there on the field, each and every Sunday.As part of a contract extension signed in August, the Bills must guarantee Taylor $30 million if he remains on their roster past the fourth day of the 2017 league year, which begins in March. His performance this season has raised questions about whether the Bills will keep Taylor as their quarterback next season.My future in Buffalo is this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thats what matters the most, Taylor said. Other than that, I dont feel like talking about my contract. We still have games to play.Coach Rex Ryan has defended Taylors performance this season but has not directly answered questions about whether Taylor will be the quarterback in 2017.Im pleased with Tyrod Taylor, Ryan said Monday. I think he gives us the best chance to win. I think hes a good quarterback. But our focus is strictly on Pittsburgh, so anything past that I dont think its even an appropriate conversation right now.I just think it is easy to sit back and be critical, but if you are playing without five receivers in the game, I have a feeling you are not -- regardless if it is Tom Brady or anybody else -- I think it is going to affect you.Running back LeSean McCoy also came to Taylors defense Wednesday.A lot of people have taken shots, he said. Thats all opinion based. I stand behind him because Im in the same locker room with him. I watch the same tape. Are there plays that hes missed? Yeah. Are there plays that Ive missed? Yeah.

DETROIT -- With almost two months left in the season, Max Scherzer has already equaled his career high in wins. Hes also closing in on another lofty mark -- 1,000 strikeouts. "Wins are important for the team, and Im up about that," Scherzer said. "But to reach milestones for your career, sometimes thats a better personal reflection of yourself." Scherzer will have to wait for that 1,000th strikeout after falling one short Saturday night, but the Detroit right-hander took a shutout into the eighth inning, and the bullpen held on in the Tigers 3-0 victory over the punchless Chicago White Sox. Scherzer became baseballs first 16-game winner. The White Sox have lost nine straight. The AL Central-leading Tigers have won 11 of 12, despite playing most of that stretch without slugger Miguel Cabrera. "Ive always said that we have so much talent in this clubhouse," Scherzer said. "Miggys a big part of it, but even without Miggy, theres plenty of guys in here that are very capable of dominating in the major leagues." Cabrera has been bothered by hip and abdominal problems and sat out Saturday. Scherzer (16-1) allowed three hits in 7 2-3 innings. Jose Veras got the third out of the eighth, and Joaquin Benoit finished for his 12th save in 12 chances. John Danks (2-9) allowed six hits in seven innings, including solo homers by Torii Hunter, Jhonny Peralta and Jose Iglesias. Scherzer is the first pitcher to win at least 16 of his first 17 decisions since Roger Clemens started 16-1 in 2001, according to STATS. Scherzer walked three and struck out six. "It is pretty tough to do much against Scherzer right now," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Hes just got too much stuff. He can throw all of his off-speed pitches exactly where he wants them, and you cant tell them apart from his fastball. So you are watching for the break, and youu dont have a chance to catch up to his velocity.ddddddddddddquot; Scherzer also won 16 games last season. Hes been the beneficiary of a lot of run support this year, but he didnt need much against the White Sox. Hunter opened the scoring with a homer to left in the first. "These are real baseball games. We love those close games, those tight games," Hunter said. "Good pitching beats good hitting any day. Whenever they make a mistake, you just dont want to miss it." Peralta -- who faces a possible suspension from Major League Baseballs drug investigation -- made it 2-0 with a drive to the bushes beyond the centre-field wall in the second. Iglesias, acquired just before the trade deadline -- partly as insurance against a possible suspension to Peralta -- added a homer of his own in the fourth. This was the second game with the Tigers for Iglesias. He hit one homer in 63 games for Boston this season. The White Sox, meanwhile, got another sold start that they failed to take advantage of. The Chicago starters have a 2.72 ERA during this losing streak. Chicago pinch-hitter Jordan Danks hit a long flyball in the eighth that centre fielder Austin Jackson caught at the wall in left-centre. When Veras came in, Alexei Ramirez jack-knifed out of the way on his first pitch -- only to have the breaking ball drop across the heart of the plate for a strike. The White Sox have scored two runs in their last three games. NOTES: Chicago has requested waivers on OF Dewayne Wise for the purpose of granting his unconditional release.
