Lewis won't have any issues getting into Sun Life Stadium on Sunday.

"I had the whole offseason to think about some of the mistakes I made in that game," Lewis said. "I get to go the following weekend,Tottenham Shirt 2018/19, and do what I love to do and play quarterback. Hopefully, you can build on it."

"I did OK," Lewis said. "We didn't get the win, so I didn't do good enough."
Lewis earned the opportunity to remain the starter after an impressive performance in a 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati last weekend. After getting off to a slow start, and losing a fumble to open the third quarter, Lewis bounced back by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdown passes, including a game-tying 40-yarder to Marquise Goodwin with 1:08 remaining.
He finished 19 of 32 for 216 yards passing and two touchdowns, and scrambled for 17 yards including a 3-yard score, despite playing with a sore right foot he injured during the game.
Receiver Stevie Johnson likes how Lewis has carried himself.
"Your dream as a child is to obviously get to this level, but to be starting is a dream come true," he said. "It means a lot playing in the NFL, period. But it's just extra to get to go home and play in front of people that you know."
Lewis had previously appeared in one game, a start in Cleveland's season finale last year at Pittsburgh. He went 22 of 32 for 204 yards with a touchdown and interception in a 24-10 loss.
"He's got that 'It' factor about him,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale," Johnson said. "He walks around with big shoulders and head up. I think that's what he brings, confidence to the team."
Two weeks since being promoted off the practice squad, the 25-year-old will be making his second consecutive start when Buffalo (2-4) travels to play the Dolphins (3-2).
"I think a lot of people were surprised maybe by that performance,Cheap Stitched Jerseys," Marrone said. "But I don't think anyone on the team was really surprised about the way he went out there, the way he went about his business. Because that's been who he is since he really came on board."
