Even though he put in one of the dumbest play calls one can make to end a football game, Dick Jauron will be employed in 2009. The Buffalo Bills head coach, who has seen his team lose seven of its last eight games, including an inexplicable 31-27 loss to the Jets on Sunday, signed a three year extension with the ballclub late Monday afternoon.

Losman, in typical Losman fashion, botched the play when he was sacked by Jets saftey Abram Elam, causing Losman to fumble the football. Shaun Ellis picked up the loose ball and stumbled into the end zone for the game winning touchdown. It was one of the most improbable plays in NFL history; right up there with David Tyree...
