‘2008 — Browns 29, Bills 27 — In a Monday night matchup between two teams fading out of the playoff picture, Trent Edwards continued his descent from strong early season, throwing the first of his three interceptions on Buffalo’s first play from scrimmage. Fred Jackson also fumbled for a fourth Bills turnover while the defense generated no takeaways. But it came down to the kickers in the end. Cleveland’s Phil Dawson made a 56-yarder for the led with 1:44 remaining, and Buffalo’s Rian Lindell missed wide right from 47 yards out in the last minute. Marshawn Lynch gained 177 yards from scrimmage with a receiving touchdown. Leodis McKelvin scored on a 98-yard kick return. Cleveland QB Brady Quinn passed for 185 yards in his first NFL victory as the Browns rushed for 165 yards and two TDs. A fourth consecutive loss dropped the Bills to 5-5.’

4 keys for the Buffalo Bills to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They show a lot of different looks.”’
