Bills Win Over Browns; Spiller Leaves Game With Injury

The Buffalo Bills circled the wagons again as they won over the Cleveland Browns, 24-14. The great Jim Brown was in attendance to see both C.J. Spiller and Trent Richardson, the 3rd overall pick in this year's NFL Draft. The Bills got right to business and continued where they left off last week as Ryan Fitzpatrick hooked up with rookie wide receiver T.J. Graham for a 9 yard touchdown. Then, the Bills scored later in the first quarter as Fitzpatrick gave a little dump to C.J. Spiller who ran it in for 32 yards.

Later in the second quarter, Spiller went down with a shoulder injury and according to Chan Gailey, Spiller will be unlikely to play next week against the Patriots. Spiller will have an MRI tomorrow. Tashard Choice came in for relief and helped out the Bills offense as he had 20 carries for 91 yards.

The Bills did not find the end zone until the fourth quarter when Fitzpatrick found Stevie Johnson for a 9 yard touchdown. The Bills defense helped out as well. Mario Williams showed up in the game as he had 1.5 sacks along with 4 tackles. Mark Anderson, the other new Bills defensive lineman had a sack, and Kyle Williams had one as well. Bryan Scott and Leodis McKelvin each had an interception.

Ryan Fitzpatrick finished 22 for 35 passing with 208 yards and 3 touchdowns. C.J. Spiller finished the game with 4 carries for 16 yards, along with 2 catches for 42 yards along with his touchdown. Stevie Johnson had 7 catches for 61 yards and a touchdown. Scott Chandler had 2 catches for 22 yards, and Donald Jones had 5 for 42 yards. T.J. Graham had 3 catches for 24 yards along with his touchdown.

Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson got a dose of the Bills offense as he was only held to 27 yards on 12 carries along with a touchdown. Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden was pressured by the Bills defense as he went 27 of 43 passing for 237 yards with a touchdown and 2 interceptions.
