LAST WEEK - BILLS vs. JETS The Buffalo Bills drew to within a touchdown of the New York Jets early in the fourth quarter, but could not get over the hump, as they lost 17-26 Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The loss was the second in a row for the Bills, who fall to 5-3 on the year. Buffalo QB Trent Edwards threw for a career-high 289 yards in the loss, with one touchdown and two interceptions. After the Jets scored a fi eld goal just 1:47 into the game, Edwards led the Bills on a 57-yard touchdown drive that ended with a nine-yard pass to rookie TE Derek Fine, who was wide open in the end zone. The reception was the fi rst of Fine s career, and he ended the day with four catches for 43 yards. After allowing the Buffalo touchdown, the Jets scored the contest s next 13 points to go ahead 16-7. Buffalo K Rian Lindell drew the Bills back within six when he hit a 53-yard fi eld goal near the end of the third quarter, which was his longest of the year and just one yard shy of his career-long. After the Jets scored to take a 23-10 lead, hope was restored to the Bills in the form of a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown by CB Jabari Greer. Jets QB Brett Favre threw short left, intended for WR Jericho Cotchery, and Greer cut in front, snagged the ball, and sprinted down the Jets sideline for the score. New York responded with a methodical 14-play, 65-yard drive that took 8:41 off of the clock. Jets K Jay Feely converted a 31-yard fi eld goal to put the Jets up by two scores with 2:12 to go in the game. A lastgasp drive by the Bills ended in an Edwards interception in the end zone.

MITCHELL LAST WEEK Linebacker Kawika Mitchell ranked third on the team in with seven tackles in week nine s loss to the NY Jets. MITCHELL ON THE SEASON Mitchell has made a number of big plays for the Buffalo Bills defense at the linebacker position. Mitchell ended San Diego s final two offensive possessions in Buffalo s 23-14 victory over San Diego in week seven. He posted his fi rst interception of the season at the six-minute mark to halt a potential San Diego scoring drive. With three minutes left in the game, he sacked QB Philip Rivers and forced a fumble which was recovered by DE Copeland Bryan. Mitchell is the fi rst Buffalo Bill with an interception and sack in the same game since Angelo Crowell acheived the feat against Miami on September 17, 2006. Mitchell made an immediate impact in his Buffalo Bills debut with 1.0 sack, two tackles, a pass defensed and a quarterback pressure in week one against the Seattle Seahawks. MITCHELL JOINS BUFFALO AS PRIORITY FREE AGENT SIGNING Mitchell joined the Buffalo Bills as the team s first free agent signing in 2008 after winning a Super Bowl ring with the New York Giants in the 2007 season. Mitchell is the fi fth linebacker to join the franchise as an unrestricted free agent. The previous four unrestricted free agent linebackers to sign with Buffalo all made signifi cant contributions in their fi rst season with the club. MITCHELL LEAVES HIS MARK 1995 - Bryce Paup (Green Bay) Led NFL with 17.5 sacks in 1995; Named AP Defensive Player of the Year; Selected to the Pro Bowl 1996 - Chris Spielman (Detroit) Set a team record and career-high with 206 tackles in 2006. 2002 - London Fletcher (St. Louis) Led the team in tackles in each of his fi ve seasons with the Bills; set a team record with 209 tackles in 2002; started 80 consecutive games for Buffalo. 2003 - Jeff Posey (Houston) Started 47 of 48 games with Buffalo; posted 9.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles. BET YOU DIDN T KNOW Eight of the Bills 22 starters have come from the 2006-2008 NFL Drafts. The total ranks as the fourth most in the NFL. Kansas City leads the NFL with 11 starters from the past three drafts. Houston ranks second with 10 and Denver ranks third with nine. BET YOU DIDN T KNOW The Bills are currently holding opponents to a 34.00 third down conversion %. If the Bills maintain that average it ll mark the fi rst time Buffalo has held teams under 35% this decade.

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.

WEEK 3 BILLS 24, Raiders 23 September 21, 2008 Ralph Wilson Stadium 71,297 For the first time in 16 years, the Buffalo Bills are 3-0 to start their season. The Bills won in dramatic fashion Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium, staging a fourth-quarter rally that saw the team come from nine points down in the final six minutes to beat the Oakland Raiders 24-23. Their comeback was capped off by a 38-yard Rian Lindell field goal as time expired to give the Bills their third straight win. QB Trent Edwards led the Bills offense to three fourth-quarter scores, going 14-for-19 for 182 yards and a touchdown on the final three drives, and hitting WR Roscoe Parrish for a touchdown to bring the Bills to within two with four minutes remaining. After the Buffalo defense held the Raiders to a three-and-out on their ensuing possession, Edwards engineered a final 46-yard drive to set up Lindell s winning kick. Things had not gone so smoothly for Buffalo in the game s first three quarters, starting with the opening kickoff. Oakland WR Johnnie Lee Higgins returned the kick 69 yards to the Buffalo 30-yardline and six plays later; the Raiders were on the board after K Sebastian Janikowski converted a 23-yard field goal. The Bills responded with a scoring drive of their own in the second quarter to put themselves ahead 7-6 on RB Marshawn Lynch s 14-yard run into the end zone. Lynch finished the day with 83 yards rushing on 23 carries and two touchdowns. Though the Bills kept it close after Lynch s run, the Raiders struck a near-death blow with 6:23 left in the fourth quarter when Oakland QB JaMarcus Russell threw a strike to Higgins, who cut through the Buffalo defense for an 84-yard score. The Bills were not to be denied their third victory of the young season, though, as Edwards rallied the offense for the team s final two drives of the game. With the victory and a New England Patriot loss, the Bills sit alone atop the AFC East, one of only six unbeaten teams in the NFL. TEAM 1 2 3 4 Final RAIDERS 6 3 7 7 23 BILLS 0 7 0 17 24 TEAM QTR.

The Bills overcame a slow start to defeat the St. Louis Rams 31-14 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Mo. For the third week in a row, the Bills found themselves trailing heading into the final quarter. They had surrendered two long rushing touchdowns in the first half to the Rams, who held a 14-6 halftime lead. But just as they had in the previous two weeks, the Bills climbed back into the game. Their first touchdown came in the third quarter, on a 22-yard rush from RB Fred Jackson. The score was the first of Jackson s career and drew the Bills to within one. CB Jabari Greer scored the go-ahead points just 12 seconds into the fourth quarter, when he intercepted a Trent Green pass and returned it 33 yards to the end zone. The Buffalo offense did the rest. QB Trent Edwards led the Bills on two final scoring drives, going three of three for 66 yards in the final quarter, including a 39-yard touchdown pass to WR Lee Evans. The touchdown reception was Evans first on the season and his first-ever touchdown reception in the month of September. After the two-point conversion pass play from Edwards to Evans, the Bills extended their lead to two touchdowns. K Rian Lindell added on a 45-yard field goal with 6:21 remaining for the final margin. The kick was the third on the day for Lindell. Rookie CB Leodis McKelvin saw his first significant playing time at cornerback and added a final exclamation point to the game when he hit Rams WR Dane Looker and forced a fumble that he recovered as the fourth quarter wound down. The Bills will go for their fourth-ever 5-0 start next week, when they travel to Phoenix to face the 2-2 Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium at 4:15 ET.

WEEK 5 BILLS 17, Cardinals 41 October 5, 2008 University of Phoenix Stadium 63,830 The Buffalo Bills stayed with the high-powered Arizona Cardinals offense for thirty minutes Sunday afternoon in Glendale, Az., before they surrendered 17 straight unanswered points in the second half and lost, 17-41. It was the first loss of the season for the Bills, who drop to 4-1. Buffalo felt the effects of losing key members of both their offense and defense to injuries. Starting CB Terrence McGee was inactive for the game with a sprained knee, and Arizona QB Kurt Warner took advantage. Warner finished the game 33 of 42 for 250 yards and two touchdowns to standout wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. On their third play from scrimmage, Bills starting QB Trent Edwards took a hit from Cardinals S Adrian Wilson and left the game with a concussion. Second-string QB J.P. Losman stepped in and on his third series, connected with WR Lee Evans for an 87-yard touchdown pass. The score came with 12 minutes remaining in the second quarter and drew the Bills within seven. Evans finished the game with two catches for 100 yards, his second 100-yard receiving game of the season and 11 th of his career, which moved him past Peerless Price and into sole possession of fifth place on the franchise record list for most 100-yard receiving games. Losman also scored on a 2-yard quarterback sneak at the end of the second quarter to close the gap to seven again. But the Bills were only able to muster a Rian Lindell field goal in the second half as Arizona extended their lead, helped along by three Buffalo turnovers. If there was one bright spot for the Bills, it was the play of their rookie class. WR James Hardy earned his first career start at wide receiver and caught three passes for 35 yards. CB Reggie Corner and WR Steve Johnson saw their first-ever regular season NFL action, with Corner amassing two tackles and Johnson catching his firstcareer pass for eight yards. CB Leodis McKelvin continued his solid play as the Bills primary kick returner, accruing 133 yards on six kickoff returns. TEAM 1 2 3 4 Final BILLS 0 14 3 0 17 CARDINALS 7 17 7 10 41 TEAM QTR.

The lead changed hands four times on the day, and the outcome was still in doubt before Bills LB Kawika Mitchell made two huge plays in the game s final six minutes to seal the victory for Buffalo. With six minutes left in the game and San Diego on the Buffalo nine yard line, Mitchell intercepted a Philip Rivers pass intended for TE Antonio Gates in the end zone and returned it 32 yards. The interception was Mitchell s first of the season and set up the Buffalo offense for a seven-play, 43- yard drive that ended in a 44-yard field goal from K Rian Lindell. On the Chargers ensuing possession, Rivers dropped back to pass and was sacked by Mitchell. Mitchell s helmet hit Rivers arm, causing him to drop the football, which was recovered by Bills DE Copeland Bryan. With only three minutes remaining, the Buffalo offense came back on the field and ran out the clock on their fifth victory of the year. The AFC East-leading Bills improved to 5-1 on the season, the franchise s best start since 1995. In addition to Mitchell, the Bills were led by second-year QB Trent Edwards, who finished the day 25 of 30 for 261 yards and one touchdown to WR Lee Evans. The Buffalo offensive line gave Edwards time to throw all afternoon, allowing him to complete passes to seven different receivers. Bills second-year RB Marshawn Lynch rushed 19 times for 70 yards and had a third-quarter touchdown run that put the Bills up for good, 20-14.

WEEK 8 BILLS 16, Dolphins 25 October 26, 2008 Dolphin Stadium 65, 011 A rash of fourth-quarter turnovers turned a nine-point lead into a nine-point deficit as the Buffalo Bills lost 25-16 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon in Miami Gardens, Fla. In the first half, the Bills received contributions from all three facets of their team. The Buffalo offense, led by a combined rushing attack of RBs Marshawn Lynch (27 yards in the first half) and Fred Jackson (26 yards), scored on three of their five first-half possessions. Second-year MLB Paul Posluszny forced a Ricky Williams fumble on the Dolphins third possession that was recovered by WLB Keith Ellison, and on special teams, 6-8 RT Langston Walker blocked a Miami field goal try. The blocked FG was the franchise s first since 2001. The Bills went into the break with a 9-7 lead. Buffalo began the second half strong, as they took the kickoff and drove 70 yards in eight plays. The drive ended with Lynch scampering into the end zone from eight yards out to put the Bills ahead by nine. It would all go downhill from there for the Bills, as they turned the ball over three times in the contest s final 15 minutes and surrendered a safety to the Dolphins with eight minutes remaining in the game. QB Trent Edwards was intercepted once and fumbled while trying to stretch for a first down and TE Robert Royal coughed up the ball on Buffalo s final offensive possession. With the loss, the Bills fall to 5-2 on the season, and hold a share of the AFC East lead. The Dolphins improve to 3-5. The Bills return home next weekend to face the New York Jets in their second division game of the year. TEAM 1 2 3 4 Final BILLS 3 6 7 0 16 DOLPHINS 7 0 10 8 25 TEAM QTR.

The loss was the second in a row for the Bills, who fall to 5-3 on the year. Buffalo QB Trent Edwards threw for a career-high 289 yards in the loss, with one touchdown and two interceptions. After the Jets scored a field goal just 1:47 into the game, Edwards led the Bills on a 57-yard touchdown drive that ended with a nine-yard pass to rookie TE Derek Fine, who was wide open in the end zone. The reception was the first of Fine s career, and he ended the day with four catches for 43 yards. After allowing the Buffalo touchdown, the Jets scored the contest s next 13 points to go ahead 16-7. Buffalo K Rian Lindell drew the Bills back within six when he hit a 53-yard field goal near the end of the third quarter, which was his longest of the year and just one yard shy of his career-long. After the Jets scored to take a 23-10 lead, hope was restored to the Bills in the form of a 42- yard interception return for a touchdown by CB Jabari Greer. Jets QB Brett Favre threw short left, intended for WR Jericho Cotchery, and Greer cut in front, snagged the ball, and sprinted down the Jets sideline for the score. New York responded with a methodical 14-play, 65-yard drive that took 8:41 off of the clock. Jets K Jay Feely converted a 31-yard field goal to put the Jets up by two scores with 2:12 to go in the game. A last-gasp drive by the Bills ended in an Edwards interception in the end zone.
