BILLS ...20 PANTHERS ...9

Buffalo proved a team can trail badly in nearly every statistical category and still win the game. Rookie Jairus Byrd had two more interceptions, Ryan Fitzpatrick didn't make a big mistake in his first start at quarterback and the Bills took advantage of Carolina's miscues. Buffalo won despite being outgained 425-167. Carolina led in first downs 20-9 and held the ball for nearly 35 minutes. But Jake Delhomme was intercepted three times, Kenny Moore fumbled a punt, John Kasay missed two field-goal attempts, and the Panthers saw their two-game winning streak snapped. Byrd had two interceptions to set up TDs as Buffalo won road games in consecutive weeks for the first time since 2004.
