‘Hamdan finished the night 18-26 passing for 158 yards and a passer rating of 85.1, but did not finish the game after winding up on the rough end of a Lions’ sack with 9:14 left in the game. J.P. Losman finished the game for Buffalo at quarterback.’

‘Otherwise, it was a sloppy game that featured numerous dropped passes, several illegal formation penalties and even two safeties.’

‘Gibran Hamdan completed 18-of-26 passes for 158 yards, while Steve Johnson led both teams in receiving with 74 yards on eight receptions. The Bills (2-2) managed only 228 yards of total offense, failing to score a touchdown all game.’

‘”To surpass 56,000 season tickets certainly is a tremendous accomplishment and it’s one that is shared by both the team and the community,” stated Russ Brandon, Chief Operating Officer. “We continue to see benefits from our regionalization strategy and this season in particular, we saw tremendous growth from the Canadian market place.”‘
