LAST WEEK - BILLS at PATRIOTS
BEST STARTS IN BILLS HISTORY
The Buffalo Bills offense struggled all afternoon against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., amassing only 168 total yards, as the Bills dropped their third game in a row to an AFC East division opponent. It was the Bills tenth straight loss to the Patriots, who improved to 6-3 and held onto their share of the division lead. The Patriots got out to a 10-0 lead thanks to a 13-yard touchdown run by QB Matt Cassel early in the first quarter and a 32-yard Stephen Gostkowski field goal early in the second. The Bills were able to put together an 11-play, 56 yard drive in the middle of the second quarter, helped along by two third-down passes by QB Trent Edwards. The drive ended with a 25-yard Rian Lindell field goal, and the Bills went into the break down a touchdown, 3-10. The second half brought more of the same for Buffalo. Edwards threw his second interception late in the third quarter and the offense struggled to string a drive together. DT Marcus Stroud forced a fumble early in the fourth quarter, which was recovered by S George Wilson, but the Bills punted the ball away just six plays later. A late spark was provided by rookie KR Leodis McKelvin, who broke an 85-yard return to set the Bills up on the Patriots 14-yard line. One play later, rookie WR James Hardy was in the end zone, the recipient of a 14-yard pass from Edwards. It was the second touchdown catch of Hardy’s career, but it was too little, too late for the Bills. After Buffalo could not recover the ensuing the onside kick, New England ran out the clock on their 20-10 victory.
The Bills are off to a 5-4 start in 2008. The Bills are 5-4 through nine games for the second consecutive season. Below is a look at the best starts in team history through nine games and 10 games:

LAST MEETING - BILLS-BROWNS
THE SERIES - BILLS-BROWNS
BROWNS 8, BILLS 0 Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio
This marks the 14th regular-season meeting between the Bills and the Browns and the second ever on Monday night. The last time the two teams met in Buffalo, the Bills came away with a 37-7 victory on December 12, 2004. That victory raised Buffalo’s record against Cleveland at home to 2-3. The Browns and the Bills have met once before on Monday night. On October 2, 1995, the Bills traveled to Cleveland and won, 22-19. QB Jim Kelly completed 27 of 34 for 256 yards and two touchdowns, and K Steve Christie converted the winning field goal with five seconds remaining in the game.
Despite blizzard-like conditions and strong gusts of wind, the Cleveland Browns’ offense was able to outperform the visiting Buffalo Bills and came away with an 8-0 win in Ohio. The Bills moved to within ten yards of reaching the end zone on their last possession of the game but RB Fred Jackson was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on 4th-and-5 sealing the Browns’ win. Trailing 8-0 with 1:51 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Bills took over after a Cleveland punt at their own 30 yard line. Rookie QB Trent Edwards moved the ball through the air 60 yards on four completions including a 20-yard pass to WR Lee Evans on 4th-and-10 to keep the drive alive. With 21 seconds to go, Buffalo faced a 4th-and-5 but Jackson was unable to break free and was tackled at the ten-yard line. With neither team able to score on their first drive of the game, Cleveland K Phil Dawson gave the Browns a 3-0 lead with a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter. Facing a 4th-and-2 in the second stanza, P Brian Moorman was in punt formation but the snap sailed high forcing him to kick the ball into the end zone crediting the Browns with a safety and a 5-0 advantage. Dawson tacked on another three points with a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter and marked the final points of the contest. RB Jamal Lewis led all rushers with 163 yards on 33 attempts as Bills rookie RB Marshawn Lynch finished with 82 yards on 21 carries. TEAM 1 BILLS 0 BROWNS 3 TM CLE CLE CLE

APRIL FIRES UP SPECIAL TEAMS
FEWELL POWERS DEFENSE
Bobby April is in his fifth season leading the Bills’ special teams unit. In week one, April’s special teams unit put on an impressive display. With Roscoe Parrish’s 63-yard punt return touchdown, Brian Moorman’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Denney on a fake field goal play and two Rian Lindell field goals (35 and 38 yards), the special teams unit accounted for 20 points. The unit also set-up another touchdown when Jon Corto forced a fumble while covering a kickoff return. Buffalo converted the turnover into a 30-yard touchdown pass on the following play. April’s special teams made a significant contribution in week three’s 24-23 victory over Oakland. K Rian Lindell connected on the game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Buffalo the win.
Perry Fewell is in his third season as the Bills’ defensive coordinator. Since the arrival of Fewell and his defensive staff, the team’s philosophy has centered around forcing turnovers, stopping teams on third down and keeping opponents out of the end zone. The defense has been solid on all fronts through the first nine games in 2008. The defense has 12 turnovers on the season - including a forced fumble and sack against New England last week. Bills rank sixth in the AFC in third down defense at 38 percent. Buffalo’s red zone defense has improved in recent weeks as the team now ranks ninth in the NFL with a 43.8 touchdown percentage.

STROUD MAKES IMMEDIATE IMPACT
POZ AMONG AFC LB LEADERS
Eighth-year DT Marcus Stroud has left quite an impact on the Bills’ defense through nine games this season. Last week at New England, Stroud recorded a .5 sack of Patriots QB Matt Cassel in the fourth quarter. During the takedown, Stroud forced a fumble that was recovered by Buffalo. In week seven against San Diego, Stroud had a crucial fumble recovery in the second quarter. The takeaway led to a Lee Evans touchdown reception giving Buffalo a 10-7 lead. In week three against Oakland, Stroud tied for the team lead with seven tackles (Posluszny). In week two against Jacksonville, Stroud posted two tipped passes. One tipped pass led to a Terrence McGee interception at the end of the first half in the end zone allowing Buffalo to take a 10-3 lead into the half. In week one’s 34-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Stroud tied for the team lead with nine tackles, led the team with four quarterback pressures, 2.0 sacks, two passes defensed and one hit on the quarterback. Stroud’s teams are 14-7 when he participates in a sack.
Second-year MLB Paul Posluszny posted six solo tackles against New England, increasing his season total to 56. Posluszny ranks tied for third in the AFC among linebackers with 56 solo stops. Posluszny is the only first- or second-year linebacker to be in the top five in solo tackles amongst AFC linebackers. Below is a chart of the top tacklers in the AFC among linebackers: RK. 1. 2.

MITCHELL LEAVES HIS MARK
GREER ADDS SCORING PUNCH
MITCHELL LAST WEEK Linebacker Kawika Mitchell finished tied with a teamhigh of 11 tackles, including five solo stops at New England.
GREER MAKES HIS MARK CB Jabari Greer posted his second interception touchdown of the season in week nine when he intercepted a Brett Favre pass in the fourth quarter and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown in the loss to the NY Jets. Greer became the first Buffalo Bill to post two interception touchdowns in one season since Takeo Spikes in 2004. Greer registered his first interception touchdown in week four against the St. Louis Rams.
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 first 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 first 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.
INTERCEPTION-TD RETURNS IN BILLS HISTORY With his two interception-touchdowns this season, Greer is the sixth Buffalo Bill to post two INT-TDs in one season (Tom Janik achieved the feat in 1966 and 1967). With his next INT-TD, Greer can become the first Buffalo Bill to post three in one season. Below is a look at the Bills who have posted two INTTDs in one season. INT-TDs 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
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 fifth linebacker to join the franchise as an unrestricted free agent. The previous four unrestricted free agent linebackers to sign with Buffalo all made significant contributions in their first season with the club. • • •

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 SEAHAWKS BILLS TEAM BUF BUF SEA BUF BUF SEA BUF BUF

WEEK 2 – BILLS 20, Jaguars 16 September 14, 2008 – Jacksonville Municipal Stadium – 65,167 The Buffalo Bills used a quick start and a stellar finish to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 Sunday afternoon at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. 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 BILLS JAGUARS

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 RAIDERS BILLS TEAM OAK OAK BUF OAK OAK BUF OAK BUF BUF

WEEK 4 – BILLS 31, Rams 14 September 28, 2008 – Edward Jones Dome – 61,017 The Buffalo Bills won their fourth consecutive game to start the 2008 season to move to 4-0 for the eighth time in the franchise’s 49-year history. 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 th 100-yard receiving game of the season and 11 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 BILLS CARDINALS TEAM ARZ ARZ BUF ARZ BUF ARZ BUF ARZ ARZ ARZ

The Buffalo Bills bounced back from their first loss of the year and came out of their bye week with a 23-14 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium. 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, 43yard 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. TEAM CHARGERS BILLS

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 BILLS DOLPHINS TEAM MIA BUF BUF BUF BUF MIA MIA MIA MIA MIA

The Buffalo Bills drew to within a touchdown of the New York Jets early in the fourth quarter, but could not overcome the deficit, 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 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 42yard 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.

The Buffalo Bills offense struggled all afternoon against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., amassing only 168 total yards, as the Bills dropped their third game in a row to an AFC East division opponent. It was the Bills tenth straight loss to the Patriots, who improved to 6-3 and held onto their share of the division lead. The Patriots got out to a 10-0 lead thanks to a 13-yard touchdown run by QB Matt Cassel early in the first quarter and a 32-yard Stephen Gostkowski field goal early in the second. The Bills were able to put together an 11-play, 56 yard drive in the middle of the second quarter, helped along by two thirddown passes by QB Trent Edwards. The drive ended with a 25-yard Rian Lindell field goal, and the Bills went into the break down a touchdown, 3-10. The second half brought more of the same for Buffalo. Edwards threw his second interception late in the third quarter and the offense struggled to string a drive together. DT Marcus Stroud forced a fumble early in the fourth quarter, which was recovered by S George Wilson, but the Bills punted the ball away just six plays later. A late spark was provided by rookie KR Leodis McKelvin, who broke an 85-yard return to set the Bills up on the Patriots 14-yard line. One play later, rookie WR James Hardy was in the end zone, the recipient of a 14-yard pass from Edwards. It was the second touchdown catch of Hardy’s career, but it was too little, too late for the Bills. After Buffalo could not recover the ensuing the onside kick, New England ran out the clock on their 20-10 victory. TEAM BILLS PATRIOTS TEAM NE NE BUF NE NE BUF
