Team doctors ran onto the field to attend to Stacy and worked on his left ankle for a few minutes before helping him onto a cart and into the locker room.

Stacy was returning the kickoff after Devin Smith fumbled one earlier in the quarter that Duke Williams returned 19 yards for a touchdown for the Bills.
