Bills Roll Past Chargers
BILLS 23CHARGERS 14
Speaking of ascendency, the Buffalo Bills continue their ascent as one of the league's best teams. The Bills are now 5-1 after a convincing victory over the San Diego Chargers Sunday. It is the best start Buffalo has had since the 1995 season.
Yet, this game will be most remembered for the hour long power outage early in the first quarter that suspended the game for a good 25 minutes and blacked out CBS's coverage of the game for a whole hour. By the time CBS came back to the game, there was 7:20 in the second quarter, and Buffalo had built a 10-7 lead.
With Buffalo up 13-7 in the third, San Diego put together a 12 play 6:17 drive for a go-ahead touchdown. Phillip Rivers was solid on the drive, completing six of seven passes, capping it off with a 12 yard touchdown to Vincent Jackson.
The Bills would not be denied. Marshawn Lynch and Trent Edwards marched the Bills right down the field to put Buffalo back in front. Key plays incldued a 12 yard scamper on third and seven by Edwards to keep the drive alive. Edwards later found Rosco Parrish for 22 yards to set up Buffalo at the San Diego 14. Lynch took it in from nine yards out for the score 20-14.
The game really came to an end when Rivers threw a rather unauthorized pass into coverage in the endzone, only to have it picked off by Kiwaika Mitchell late in the third quarter.
