Despite two takeaways, over 300 yards of total offense and three touchdowns from Ryan Fitzpatrick, it wasn’t enough to secure the first win of the 2010 season for the Buffalo Bills.
David Garrard’s three touchdowns and Josh Scobee’s four field goals helped the Jacksonville Jaguars avoid a big letdown, as the Jaguars downed the Bills 36-26. Jacksonville has won two straight and improves to 3-2, while the Bills remain one of two teams in the NFL without a win so far this season.
The Bills raced out of the gate to a 10-0 early lead thanks to Lee Evans’ first touchdown of the season, a 45-yard strike from Fitzpatrick. Rian Lindell’s 29-yard field goal gave Buffalo the early double digit advantage. With just less than six minutes remaining in the first half and Buffalo on top 13-3, the Jaguars scored 10 straight points. Garrard capped off the first half comeback with a 1-yard pass to tight end Marcedes Lewis that tied the game at 13 with :25 seconds left in the first half.
Out of the locker room, Jacksonville wasted little time pulling ahead of Buffalo, as Garrard again hooked up with Lewis for a 27-yard score to give the Jags the lead at 20-13 with less than two minutes gone in the third. Fitzpatrick ’s five-yard touchdown pass to Steve Johnson got things tied at 20, but Garrard and the Jags would answer back near the end of the third quarter. His third touchdown of the day, this one to receiver Mike Sims-Walker, gave the Jaguars the lead 27-20. Jacksonville would not trail the rest of the afternoon.
Three straight field goals from Scobee (34, 40, 46) helped the Jaguars pull away from the Bills in the fourth quarter. With just over 90 seconds left in the game, Fitzpatrick again hooked up with Johnson on a 7-yard pass but the Bills couldn’t convert the two-point conversion. Jacksonville outscored the Bills 23-13 in the second half, and despite trailing at one point in the game 13-6, the Jaguars went on to outscore the Bills 30-13.
With the Bills still sitting on a goose egg in the win column, picking up their first win next week appears to be a tall order, as the Bills travel to Baltimore to square off against the Ravens.

Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Week 5 Preview
A more confident Jacksonville Jaguars team heads up to play the Buffalo Bills on October 10th. The Jacksonville Jaguars once again owned the Indianapolis Colts to
win their first game of the NFL season and save a couple of jobs in the process. The Buffalo Bills were expected to play the New York Jets tough in their AFC East battle but that is not the way their game went. The Buffalo Bills were blown out of their own building in an embarrassing loss.
Jacksonville Jaguars Defense vs Buffalo Bills Offense
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has been inconsistent at best and they still gave up 28 points to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in their last game. The corners for the Jacksonville Jaguars are below average but the defensive line has been a surprise early in the 2010 NFL campaign.
The Buffalo Bills Fitzpatrick will have to pick on the Jacksonville Jaguars corners if wants to have success in this game. The Jacksonville Jaguars are very beatable on the edges and down the the field but they are strong in the middle. Fitzpatraick does have weapons at wide out with Lee Evans and Robert Parrish. The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has a slight edge over the Buffalo Bills offense.
Buffalo Bills Defense vs Jacksonville Jaguars Offense
The much maligned Buffalo Bills defense is not as bad as one would believe. They are solid on the corners with Leodis McKelvin and Reggie Corner and they have some strong linebackers in Paul Posluszny and Chris Kelsay. Many teams look to pass on the Buffalo Billd defense but the New York Jets had the right plan against them. The New York Jets pounded the ball inside and rarely threw the ball outside the hash marks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars offense was dormant until they faced the Indianapolis Colts in their last game. David Gerrard looked more confident as the game against the Colts wore on and if can parlay that attitude and bring it when he plays the Buffalo Bills he could win his second game in a row. The Jacksonville Jaguars offense has the edge over the Buffalo Bills defense but it is close. Jaguars 31- Bills 17.
