Bills hold on for 19-14 win over Miami

2012-11-16T06:57:00.000-05:00

(Reuters) - Miami Dolphins' rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw two late interceptions as the Buffalo Bills held on for a 19-14 win in the AFC East divisional clash on Thursday.

Miami suffered their third consecutive loss and slipped to 4-6 in the division with their playoff hopes becoming increasingly marginal.

"We had a couple of opportunities late in the game to win the game and we weren't able to get it done," Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin told reporters.

"It was not a good offensive performance, we had nothing going on, we weren't throwing the ball well, we weren't running it well," he said.

The Bills got off to the perfect start with a 79 yard punt return from Leodis McKelvin and then a 32 yard field goal from Rian Lindell making it 10-0.

The Dolphins responded with a defensive touchdown of their own, Marcus Thigpen racing 96 yards on the kick-off return to narrow the deficit.

Three field goals from Ryan Lindell gave Buffalo a 19-7 lead at halftime and while Miami's offence struggled against a solid Bills defense, the Dolphins' chances were not helped by a missed field goal attempt from 50 yards by Dan Carpenter.

Miami's offence had not managed a touchdown in over nine quarters of football but they finally ended that barren run with a two yard Tannehill pass, superbly caught in the end-zone by Davone Bess.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- When C.J. Spiller got hurt, the Buffalo Bills lost the NFL's leading rusher, most of their momentum and another major offensive threat.

Ryan Fitzpatrick wouldn't let them lose the game.

Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and the better-than-advertised Bills overcame the loss of Spiller to a shoulder injury and beat the Cleveland Browns 24-14 on Sunday to snap an eight-game road losing streak.

Fitzpatrick, doing just enough to keep Buffalo's offense moving, finished 22 of 35 for 208 yards as the Bills (2-1) turned to their passing game after Spiller, who has been filling in for Fred Jackson, went down in the first quarter with an injury that will likely sideline him a few weeks.

The Bills won outside Buffalo for the first time since the 2011 opener at Kansas City.

''We got the monkey off our back,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''We always felt confident. This is a new year, a new team, but it was a good team win on the road. These are the most satisfying wins.''

As the final seconds ticked off, some of Buffalo's players celebrated with hundreds of Bills fans who made the short drive over from Western New York.

Before he went out, Spiller, who came in leading the league with 292 yards rushing, scored on a 32-yard screen pass from Fitzpatrick, who also threw a 9-yard TD to T.J. Graham in the first quarter and hooked up with Stevie Johnson from 9 in the fourth to close the scoring.

Bills coach Chan Gailey does not expect Spiller to be back for next week's home game against New England - and possibly longer.

''I don't believe it's long, long-term,'' Gailey said. ''If he missed a week that's long for me. He's going to be out for sure this week and then we'll see.''

Tight battle in preseason finale goes to Lions

Tight battle in preseason finale goes to Lions

What looked like an early blowout for the Lions up 28-7 in the first half turned into a barnburner with Buffalo erasing the 21-point deficit to take the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 100-yard kick return for a touchdown, but the Lions put the last points on the board in a 38-32 victory for Detroit leaving the Bills winless in the preseason.

“Well we gave up two touchdowns there early in the ball game and fought back,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “I was impressed with a lot of things that happened. The defense stiffened a couple of times, not quite enough, but a couple of times. The biggest problem were the penalties on defense and giving up some big plays on third down. And then offensively Tyler (Thigpen) had his hand hit twice for interceptions. We can’t have that kind of penetration in there on those situations.”

The big positive to start the game was Buffalo’s starting offense got the drive they were looking for to close out the preseason. was a perfect 5-5 passing for 39 yards through the air including a four-yard fade pass to in the back left corner of the end zone and rushed six times for 29 yards.

“We wanted to start fast and put some points on the board,” said Fitzpatrick. “It was good to get into the end zone and spread the ball around a little bit and let everyone touch it.”

If you only looked at ’s stat line following Buffalo’s 38-32 preseason loss to the Lions you’d have thought that the quarterback struggled in his final audition to secure the backup job to . But Thigpen’s 18-3 passing performance Thursday night left his head coach with some thinking to do.

“Tyler played good,” said Chan Gailey. “He did. He made it tough. It was all on the line, so he did a good job.”

“There at first we were kind of shaky a little bit, but we got things going, started clicking with a lot of guys,” said Thigpen. “It was nice to get some extended time and get out there and get in that rhythm.”

Thigpen and the second team offense went three-and-out on their first series, with a false start not helping things. On the next possession Thigpen, on a 2^nd-and-7 pass to the left for , had his hand struck by a defensive lineman as he released the ball. It ended up floating out to the flat where Lions cornerback Jonte’ Green grabbed the ball out of the air and took it the other way for a 23-yard touchdown return.

From there Thigpen and the rest of the offensive unit began to settle down finally putting together a field goal drive at the end of the first half going 63 yards on 11 plays to make it 28-10 at the half.
