ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Trent Edwards and the Buffalo Bills overcame a sloppy start to produce a second straight fourth-quarter comeback victory.
Rian Lindell hit a 38-yard field goal as the clock ran out. Edwards engineered three scoring drives in the final quarter, helping the Bills twice overcome nine-point deficits in the last 8 minutes.

Edwards finished 24 of 39 for 279 yards and a touchdown a week after he rallied the Bills to a 20-16 win at Jacksonville. Buffalo is off to its first 3-0 start since 1992.

The defeat spells trouble for Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, who is on the hot seat.
