ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore has a confession to make over what happened against New England last weekend.And no, it has nothing to do with whether the he was responsible for covering Chris Hogan when the Patriots receiver beat him up the left sideline and scored on a 53-yard touchdown.I didnt get burned, Gilmore said Thursday, reiterating what he told reporters following the game. Busted coverage. It wasnt my fault.What Gilmore regrets is how he let loose his frustrations by snapping at safety Jonathan Meeks in the end zone immediately after Hogan scored in New Englands 41-25 victory .I shouldnt have reacted that way, he said.Gilmore said his outburst was a reflection of the competitor in him, and not an indication of whatever stress he might be feeling in attempting to prove he deserves to be counted among the NFLs elite cornerbacks.Its an assertion the fifth-year player made several times this offseason. And its one Gilmore repeated this week, when accepting how much focus is being placed on what he might be worth after his contract expires in March.Im one of the best corners in the league, so I can take it, Gilmore said, in striking a defiant pose with both hands on his hips at his locker during an interview with The Associated Press.The self-confidence Gilmore has isnt wavering, even while questions are being raised over his production halfway through the season, and with Buffalo (4-4) traveling to play Seattle (4-2-1) on Monday night.He and the rest of the Bills defensive secondary was picked apart by Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had 374 yards passing and a touchdown in New Yorks 37-31 win on Sept. 15.Gilmore also appeared to struggle in a 30-19 win at Los Angeles, when Tavon Austin beat him for a 31-yard gain up the left sideline.And then there was last weekend, when Tom Brady had 315 yards passing and four touchdowns.Overall, Gilmore has been credited with seven passes defensed and is tied for the team lead with two interceptions.Football Outsiders has Gilmore rated 158th among NFL cornerbacks in having allowed 12.5 yards per reception. And yet, its difficult to rate a cornerbacks production because it doesnt take into account what his responsibilities were on each play.Gilmore dismisses his critics.I dont really care about what people say on the outside, because when my coach comes in and says it wasnt my fault, then it wasnt my fault, he said. People on the outside dont mean nothing to me, so whatever.As for assessing the first half of the season, Gilmore calls it, pretty OK, with the only low point coming against the Jets.Coach Rex Ryan had a different assessment, referring to Gilmores season as being kind of up and down.Against New England, Ryan noted Gilmore was flagged twice for defensive holding and also bore some responsibility in allowing Hogans touchdown.Whether it was communication or whatever the breakdown was, it wasnt a great performance on his part, Ryan said. Im sure hed like to have some plays back.Gilmore said hes motivated to improve his performance over the final half of the season and continue tuning out his doubters.Everybody wants to play from the stands and from the internet who dont know anything about football, Gilmore said. Do I want to give up no passes? I wish I was Superman, you know.Game notes Ryan said hes leaning toward RB LeSean McCoy playing against Seattle after practicing for a second straight day. McCoy missed last weeks game with a left hamstring injury. ... DT Marcell Dareus status remains uncertain, though he practiced on a limited basis a day after being held out because of a groin injury. ... Ryan said he and several staff members traveled by rented bus to attend Game 7 of the World Series in Cleveland during the Bills day off Wednesday. Unfortunately, the group missed the final out of the Cubs 8-7 10-inning victory because they left once a rain delay began around midnight.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Authentic Adidas NHL Jerseys .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins safety Michael Thomas and linebacker Jelani Jenkins say they received death threats through social media following their national anthem protest, but remain committed to push for better race relations, which is why they helped organize a town hall with police and youth leaders.Its great a lot of people in our community, including our law enforcement, have the mindset of yes, there is something wrong, Thomas said Wednesday. Something needs to change, and were just looking for solutions and working together to find them.Thomas, Jenkins, running back Arian Foster and receiver Kenny Stills knelt together during the anthem at the Dolphins opener to protest social inequality. Reaction to the gesture by the four black players was mixed and sometimes ugly.Racism is alive and well -- `You should go back to Africa, or the n word, Thomas said. That doesnt matter. I know what Im standing for is right.San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the anthem protest that other NFL players have since joined. He said he also received death threats.Jenkins said he wont kneel during Sundays game against Cleveland and wants to move the conversation about race relations in a more positive direction, which the town hall helped to do.We all want to focus on solutions and actual actions to make actual change, Jenkins said. The protests, if you want to call it that, are kind of on thhe back burner.ddddddddddddWe want to reach out and get into the community with police officers and youth and do everything we can to create a great environment in our community.The town hall took place in the Dolphins team meeting room with the support of the organization and RISE (The Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality), a nonprofit organization founded by team owner Stephen Ross to promote understanding, respect and equality.Several dozen people attended the meeting, including high school coaches and representatives from at least three local law enforcement agencies.We had a lot of healthy conversation, Jenkins said. We heard different opinions. A lot of people understand we can do things better as a community.Thomas and Jenkins noted that the town hall took place as protesters and police clashed in Charlotte, North Carolina, the latest city to erupt in violence over the death of a black man at the hands of police.Its time to find solutions, Thomas said. People arent crying wolf -- this is our reality. People feel their lives are worth less than those who arent of color.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
