GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Buffalo Bills lost their quarterback and, emphatically, their first game of the season.

Rookie Tim Hightower had a pair of TD runs and Kurt Warner threw to Larry Fitzgerald twice for scores to lead Arizona past the Bills on Sunday.

Second-year quarterback Trent Edwards, a major reason Buffalo was one of three unbeaten teams entering the day, went down with a concussion on a fierce hit from Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson on the third play of the game. It was the Bills' defense that collapsed after that.
