LAST WEEK - BILLS 20, JAGUARS 16 Sunday, September 14 @ Jacksonville Municipal Stadium - Jacksonville, FL - The Buffalo Bills used a quick start and a great fi nish to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 Sunday afternoon at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. On the Bills fi rst possession of the game, QB Trent Edwards led the Bills on an 11-play, 82-yard drive that RB Marshawn Lynch fi nished off with an 11-yard dash into the end zone for a 7-0 lead. Edwards was 6 for 6 on the drive for 53 yards. The teams traded fi eld goals before the half to send the Bills into halftime with a 10-3 lead. The momentum swung fully to Jacksonville after the break, as they took the second half kickoff and marched 74 yards for a touchdown and a tie game. On the ensuing kickoff, Jacksonville Head Coach Jack Del Rio caught the Bills special teams off-guard and called for a surprise onside kick. After the Jaguars recovered, they drove 29 yards for a Josh Scobee fi eld goal. After another Scobee fi eld goal, the Bills found themselves trailing 10-16 just over 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. It was Edwards, again, that led the Bills down the fi eld with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. After connecting with WR Lee Evans for a 37-yard gain on a critical third-and-six to bring the Bills to the Jacksonville seven yard line, Edwards threw a perfectly placed pass to rookie WR James Hardy on the next play from scrimmage. The goahead score was Hardy s first career touchdown reception. After the Bills defense held the Jaguars to a three-and-out on their next possession, Buffalo tacked on a Rian Lindell fi eld goal with 24 seconds left. In addition to the contributions of Edwards and Hardy, the Bills offense got a big boost from backup RB Fred Jackson, who rushed for 17 yards and had seven receptions for 83 yards.

Smith will be the 25th person to have his name unveiled on the Wall of Fame. I can remember, it seems like just yesterday, running around and laughing with the guys. I have such fond memories of being led and coached by Marv (Levy) and the leadership in the front offi ce of Bill Polian and others, Smith said. That cliché that time fl ies when you re having fun is befi tting in this particular case. He was widely regarded as one of the most dominant defensive players ever to play the game and was selected to 11 Pro Bowls. Smith is the NFL s all-time sack leader with 200, he tallied 171 as a Bill. He was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1990 and 1996. He posted double digit sacks totals in 12 seasons. A Virginia Tech product, Smith was the fi rst player chosen in the 1985 NFL Draft. BILLS RUSHING DEFENSE The Buffalo Bills held the Jacksonville Jaguars to 98 yards rushing in Sunday s 20-16 victory. The Bills have held 11 opponents under 100 yards rushing since Bills head coach Dick Jauron and his staff took over in 2006. The Bills improved their record to 8-3 since 2006 when holding the opposing team to less than 100 yards on the ground.

LAST MEETING - BILLS-RAIDERS RAIDERS 38, BILLS 17 OCTOBER 23, 2005 McAfee Coliseum (42,779) The Bills started strong for the third straight week under Kelly Holcomb as the team put together an impressive 14 play, 82-yard opening drive capped off by a fi ve-yard Lee Evans touchdown reception to put the Bills ahead 7-0. On the drive, Holcomb completed fi ve of nine passes setting up the touchdown score. After going three-and-out on their fi rst drive, the Raiders got on the board with a 25-yard Sebastian Janikowski fi eld goal to bring the score to 7-3. After a Buffalo punt, Oakland took advantage of good fi eld position and Kerry Collins completed a 18-yard pass to LaMont Jordan which set up a 22-yard touchdown pass from Collins to Randy Moss to give the Raiders a 10-7 lead. The Raiders came up big with a goal-line stand on the Bills next possession, stopping Daimon Shelton on a 4th-and-goal play. The Bills didn t let the disappointment of not scoring a touchdown bother them as Rian Lindell connected on his only fi eld goal of the day from 41 yards out to tie the game at 10. The Raiders scored before halftime on a LaMont Jordan one-yard touchdown run to give Oakland a 17-10 halftime lead. The Raiders came out strong in the second half, as LaMont Jordan scored his second touchdown of the game on a 17-yard run to cap off Oakland s fi rst possession of the second half and give the Raiders a 24-10 lead. The Bills made a valiant comeback effort, cutting the Raider lead to seven on a Josh Reed nine-yard touchdown reception to start the fourth quarter, but the Raiders were too much for the Bills, as they pulled away from Buffalo by adding a LaMont Jordan seven-yard TD run and a Zack Crockett two-yard TD run to close out the game 38-17. Willis McGahee led the Bills with 16 carries for 50 yards and Kelly Holcomb completed 19-27 passes for 159 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 110.0 passer rating.

Below is a list of some of the outside interests of the Bills offensive linemen. RT Kirk Chambers spent 1998-1999 on a Mormon mission in Berlin and is fl uent in German. RG Brad Butler spent the two months of the 2008 offseason interning for former Bills quarterback and vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp at his consulting fi rm Kemp Partners in Washington DC. Butler studied government at the University of Virginia. LG Derrick Dockery attended NFL Broadcasting Boot Camp in June 2008. He is also scheduled to host his own television show for the second consecutive season in 2008. C Melvin Fowler was a member of the Chess Club at the University of Maryland and frequently matched-up against Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown in chess during Fowler s early years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. LT Langston Walker spent two weeks in May traveling through Hong Kong, Shanghai, Macau and Singapore with his father on vacation. Reserve lineman Duke Preston is among the best golfers on the team with a single-digit handicap. 13

WEEK 1 BILLS 34, Seahawks 10 September 7, 2008 Ralph Wilson Stadium 71,194 The Buffalo Bills kicked off their 2008 season with a 34-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Marshawn Lynch put the Bills on the board late in the first quarter when he took the handoff from QB Trent Edwards and scampered 21 yards to the end zone to put the Bills ahead 7-0. Lynch finished the game with 76 yards rushing on 18 carries. Though both the Bills offense and defense had solid games, it was the special teams that made the most noise against the Seahawks. Bills WR Roscoe Parrish returned a Ryan Plackemeier punt 63 yards for a touchdown with 6:20 to go in the half. It was Parrish s third career punt return for a touchdown, tying him for first place with Keith Moody on Buffalo s all-time list. His 120 return yards in the game set a new Bills record, breaking his own record of 104 yards set in 2006 against Jacksonville. The second half began with the Seahawks climbing back to within 10, when K Olindo Mare converted a 45-yard field goal. Then the game turned on the back of Buffalo s special teams. With 2:21 remaining in the third quarter, the Bills lined up for what appeared to be a 36-yard field goal attempt. Instead, Bills P Brian Moorman picked up the snap and threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open DE Ryan Denney, who had snuck behind the Seahawks defense. It was the first touchdown pass of Moorman s career, and the first touchdown of Denney s career. On the ensuing kickoff, Bills LB Jon Corto forced a fumble which was recovered by K Rian Lindell on the 30-yard line. One play later, TE Robert Royal was in the end zone, the recipient of a pass from QB Trent Edwards. For the game, Edwards was 19 of 30 for 215 yards and one touchdown. His passer rating of 95.8 was the highest of any Bills quarterback making his Kickoff Weekend debut since Jim Kelly in 1986. Former Bills TE Kevin Everett was honored at halftime by the Pro Football Writers of America with the Halas award. The award is given annually to the individual in the NFL who overcame the most adversity to succeed. TEAM 1 2 3 4 Final SEAHAWKS 0 7 3 0 10 BILLS 7 13 14 0 34 TEAM QTR.

The Bills improved to 2-0 on the season, the first time since 2003 that they began a season with two consecutive victories. The Bills were led by second-year QB Trent Edwards, who was 20 of 25 for 239 yards on the afternoon with one touchdown. On the Bills first possession of the game, Edwards led the Bills on an 11-play, 82-yard drive that RB Marshawn Lynch finished off with an 11-yard dash into the end zone for a 7-0 lead. Edwards was 6 for 6 on the drive for 53 yards. The teams traded field goals before the half to send the Bills into halftime with a 10-3 lead. The momentum swung fully to Jacksonville after the break, as they took the second half kickoff and marched 74 yards for a touchdown and a tie game. On the ensuing kickoff, Jacksonville Head Coach Jack Del Rio caught the Bills special teams off-guard and called for a surprise onside kick. After the Jaguars recovered, they drove 29 yards for a Josh Scobee field goal. After another Scobee field goal, the Bills found themselves trailing 10-16 just over 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. It was Edwards, again, who led the Bills down the field with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. After connecting with WR Lee Evans for a 37-yard gain on a critical third-and-six to bring the Bills to the Jacksonville seven yard line, Edwards threw a perfectly placed pass to rookie WR James Hardy on the next play from scrimmage. The go-ahead score was Hardy s first career touchdown reception. After the Bills defense held the Jaguars to a threeand-out on their next possession, Buffalo tacked on a Rian Lindell field goal with 24 seconds left. In addition to the contributions of Edwards and Hardy, the Bills offense got a big boost from backup RB Fred Jackson, who rushed for 17 yards and had a career-high seven receptions for 83 yards. Their defense was led by CB Terrence McGee, who had seven tackles, one pass defense, and an interception. TEAM 1 2 3 4 Final BILLS 7 3 0 10 20 JAGUARS 0 3 10 3 16 TEAM QTR.
