Bills finally win one, 14-12 over Lions

Published November 20, 2014

Fred Jackson scored two touchdowns in leading the Buffalo Bills to their first victory of the season, a 14-12 win over Detroit that sent the Lions to an NFL-record setting 25th consecutive road loss.

Jackson scored on a 1-yard plunge and a 16-yard catch Sunday in a sloppy game played in rain-soaked conditions between two perennial losers.

Buffalo (1-8) ended what had been its worst start to a season since going 0-11 in 1984.

The Lions (2-7) broke the road losing streak they set in dropping 24 in a row from 2001-2003.

The win wasn't assured until Detroit quarterback Shaun Hill overthrew Brandon Pettigrew at the back of the end zone on a failed 2-point conversion attempt with 14 seconds left. The Lions had pulled within two points on Hill's 20-yard TD pass to Calvin Johnson.
