ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. _ Trent Edwards and the Buffalo Bills overcame a sloppy start to produce a second straight fourth-quarter comeback victory.
Rian Lindell hit a 38-yard field goal as the clock ran out, capping a 24-23 win over the Oakland Raiders on today. Edwards engineered three scoring drives in the final quarter, helping the Bills twice overcome 9-point deficits in the last 8 minutes.
Edwards finished 24-of-39 for 279 yards and a touchdown a week after he rallied the Bills to a 20-16 win at Jacksonville.
That the victory came against the hard-luck and dysfunctional Raiders (1-2) didn't matter for a Bills team that is off to its first 3-0 start since 1992.
The loss spells trouble for Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, who is on the hot seat after Oakland opened the season with a 41-14 loss to Denver. Kiffin got a reprieve after a 23-8 win at Kansas City last weekend.
