Two teams redeem themselves after weeks of despair. This week in the NFL, The Buffalo Bills conjured up their first win this season against the Detroit Lions by a close score, 14-12. The Bills locker room let out a sigh of relief, knowing that they won’t have a winless season.
Bills Cornerback Leodis McKevlin said, “We won. We're not going to be talking about being an 0-16 team or nothing like that. It feels great to get a win and get that off our chests."
The game consisted more of who made the most mistakes, rather than who made the best plays. Still, Buffalo came out with a victory and the Lions have suffered their 25th straight consecutive road loss.
The 1-7 Dallas Cowboys came into the New Meadowlands Stadium this week to face the 6-2 New York Giant’s with a backup quarterback and a new head coach. Wade Phillips, the former head coach was fired last week after a disappointing first half of the season. Jason Garret’s first leadership duty was a success and led to the Cowboy’s second victory of the season by a score of 33-20.
Quarterback Jon Kitna threw for 327 yards and 3 touchdowns. Wide Receivers Dez Bryant and Miles Austin recorded touchdowns as well as running back Felix Jones. Kitna went 13 for 22 with one interception.
The Giants felt the losses of Wide Receiver Steve Smith and offensive tackle David Diehl. Eli Manning was able to throw 2 touchdown passes, but couldn’t do enough to save his team from the devastating loss. They players and coaches alike felt the pain from this loss.
Head Coach Tom Coughlin said, "We didn't play well enough to win. We didn't execute the way we've been executing. We gave up big plays and didn't make as many big plays. We hung in there. We gave a good effort at the end, but it was too little too late.”
The win for the Cowboys put a smile on Jason Garret’s face as he earned the game ball from owner Jerry Jones. They will go into next week with a more positive attitude. The Bills can be certain that they will not go winless this season.
