Buffalo Bills – Oakland Raiders (September 18th, 2011)

The Raiders are back on this list with another September thriller against the Buffalo Bills. Just under three years after the Bills rallied against the Raiders in Week 3 of 2008, they did it again in Week 2 of 2011.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Raiders outscored the Bills 21-3 in the second quarter, taking that lead into halftime.

The Bills would score the next 17 points of the game, taking a 24-21 lead with two Fred Jackson touchdowns, as well as a 7-yard touchdown pass by Ryan Fitzpatrick to Stevie Johnson.

The Bills and Raiders would trade scores over the final nine minutes of the game. Jason Campbell connected on a 12-yard touchdown pass to give the Raiders the lead back. Ryan Fitzpatrick would answer for the Bills when he and Scott Chandler connected for a six yard touchdown to retake the lead.

A little over a minute later, Denarius Moore made a spectacular catch over two Bills defenders to put the Raiders back in front. Fitzpatrick would win the game for the Bills, floating a ball to wide open David Nelson for a six yard touchdown pass with 14 seconds left in the game.

Fitzpatrick finished the day with three touchdowns and an interception, along with 316 passing yards.

The Bills won the game 38-35, improving to 2-0. Their comeback in Week 3 against the Patriots overshadowed this win, but this game was an underrated one.
