ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Terrell Owens isn't ready to give back the key to the city just yet.
Though bluntly describing his numbers as "pathetic," the Buffalo Bills receiver on Wednesday shrugged off suggestions he's hit a wall or lost a step in his 14th NFL season. As for the guarantee he made last spring to Buffalo mayor Byron Brown that he'll score 10 touchdowns this year or give back the key, well, the season's not over.
It'll take some doing. Through seven games, T.O. is statistically off to his worst start to a season since his rookie year of 1996. And he's part of a banged-up, inexperienced offense that's been among the NFL's least productive this season.
The Bills (3-4), coming off consecutive wins, host Houston (4-3) on Sunday.
