Besides special teams, the Bills had just about all failing grades in their latest loss.

‘The Saints (2-2) rushed for 167 yards, quarterback Aaron Brooks had a four-yard touchdown run. John Carney added four field goals. Buffalo (1-3) host Miami in week five.’

‘Rian Lindell missed a chance to tie the game with 1:27 left in the half when his 45-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right. Brooks then drove the Saints 43 yards in six plays, featuring a 26-yard strike to Stallworth, to set up a 40-yard field goal by Carney, putting New Orleans up 13-7 going into halftime.’

‘The key for the New Orleans Saints was the fact they didn’t turn over the ball, after giving it up ten times in the past two games.’

‘The Saints rolled up 333 total yards of offense and the defense had a season-low 208 yards allowed. Buffalo turned the ball over twice and committed 12 penalties for 79 yards. Losman was 7-of-15 passing for 75 yards, threw one interception and was sacked three times. Holcomb was 3-of-6 for 28 yards in relief of Losman.’
