Gameday Grades: The Bills showed once again that they just don't know how to win. It was proven again with offensive miscues and defensive mistakes as well. It all hurts the final breakdown of player grades. Gameday Grades.
Bills Blitz: The Bills had many chances to put this game away but fell to the Falcons 34-31 when Matt Bryant hit the game winning field goal in overtime. The Bills held a touchdown lead when an interference penalty in the end zone on Nickell Robey on a 3rd and 16 play setup the Falcons for the tying score. The Bills got in position to win it but Stevie Johnson fumbled the ball away after making a third down catch that would have setup a potential winning field goal in regulation. In overtime the Bills got the ball first but Scott Chandler fumbled the ball away after making a downfield catch and the Falcons drove down for the winning kick. The Bills opened up a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on touchdown runs by EJ Manuel and Fred Jackson. The Falcons opened up a 24-17 lead in the third quarter but a fumble recovery by Kiko Alonso led to Jackson's second touchdown of the day to tie it on a 21 yard catch and run. C.J. Spiller gave the Bills the lead on a 36 yard touchdown run as he had a season high 149 yards on 15 carries. Bills Blitz.
Bills Come Out Healthy: C.J. Spiller, Stephon Gilmore, and EJ Manuel all missed plays after getting banged up but all of them returned. Spiller seemed to aggravate his ankle injury.

Williams To Play: Kyle Williams will play in today's game against Atlanta. He was the only player up in the air because of a back problem that creeped up on Friday. For the first time all year every scratch is a healthy one, they are: Jeff Tuel, Antoine McClain, Ronnie Wingo, Ty Powell, Chris Gragg, J.J. Unga, and Brandon Smith. Gragg is a bit of a surprise since they have got him a bit more involved in recent weeks but with everyone healthy there were hard choices for the inactive list.
