“McClure stayed with the Bills - per his contract ­- but the pounding he took from Taylor and the Giants took a toll. He was put on injured reserve and missed the rest of the season. "I think I spent the next two weeks recovering," said McClure. "I had so many turf burns, bruised ribs and my shoulders were killing me."
