On a day when Buffalo lost one of their top two running backs and two more offensive linemen to injury, the Bills looked like they would persevere taking a 15-10 lead down to the final minutes, but a late drive by Jacksonville chewed up better than five of the final six minutes before scoring on a three-yard touchdown pass from David Garrard to Mike Sims-Walker to take a 16-15 lead en route to an 18-15 victory over Buffalo.
After the touchdown Garrard scored on a two-point conversion attempt to make it a three-point game. The Buffalo offense had one last ditch effort to move into field goal range to tie the game late, but Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 4th-and-10 pass from the Jacksonville 46 was intercepted by Anthony Smith to end the threat and the game. Fitzpatrick finished the game 18-31 for 297 yards a touchdown and two interceptions. The loss spoiled interim head coach Perry Fewell’s debut.
