Ryan Fitzpatrick got his first career start that wasn’t because of an injury and threw the ball well after a shaky start. His 98 yard bomb to Owens for a score was a perfect throw and perfect call on the audible. He didn’t start off so well as he misfired on his first pass and his second one was picked off. He threw at least three other near picks but for the most part was accurate with his passing. He did take too long to snap the ball just before halftime that almost cost the Bills a field goal. He did throw for 297 yards in the game which we haven’t seen in some time by any QB on this team. Grade B+: Showed a gun slinger mentality that has been missing.

Running Backs:

Marshawn Lynch had a costly fumble with the Bills driving in the 2nd quarter and left at that point with a shoulder injury. He was doing nothing as he fumbled twice and dropped a pass finishing with 18 yards on 8 carries. Fred Jackson did a bit better behind a patchwork offensive line. He had 35 yards on nine carries and 20 yards receiving. Grade C: It was a passing gameplan this week.
