Jaguars Beat Up Bills In London Game, Nearly Blow Lead

At first, it was an unusual experience for NFL fans to wake up early to watch a NFL football game at 9:30 a.m. EST, but it was another thing to have to stream the game on a computer. This was because Yahoo was streaming the game live on its website because of the game happening at Wembley Stadium in London, showing what seemed to be a close-knit game through the first quarter between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

With Bills quarterback EJ Manuel at the helm replacing starter Tyrod Taylor because of injury, a forced fumble and two interceptions haunted the Bills with a glaring 27-3 deficit before scoring a touchdown and field goal to bring it to 27-13 at halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, the Bills then scored 18 unanswered points, which included a 58-yard pass from Manuel to wide receiver Marcus Easley. The Jaguars on the offensive side was a certain help to the explosive defensive stance, with quarterback Blake Bortles going 13-29 for 182 yards and throwing two touchdowns and one interception.

Bills head coach Rex Ryan was not happy with the performance the Bills gave saying, “Anything that could go wrong did go wrong and we are still able to overcome it to take a lead, and then we blew it.” The Bills, who are 3-4 for the season, have a bye week coming up this week and with a couple hurt players still out, Ryan finishes saying, “I’ve never known a team that needed a bye week so badly.” The Jaguars, on the other hand, are now 2-5 and also have a bye week before squaring off against the New York Jets on November 8.
