With 10 game-winning kicks in nine seasons, one might figure Bills kicker Rian Lindell doesn’t think twice about giving his team a win. But after missing a 46-yard field goal earlier in the game, Lindell said he worried whether his missed field goal would be the difference until the Bills defensive and offensive units gave him a chance to win the game with a crucial three and out and a Buffalo drive down to the Oakland 20-yard-line.
“Yeah the whole time,” Lindell said. “So thank you to the offense, thank you to the defense for their part. It’s nice that they picked me up like that. It was huge. I can sleep now.”
All hope seemed lost when linebacker Paul Posluszny gambled on pass coverage, missing a deflection by inches and allowing Oakland receiver Johnnie Lee Higgins to scamper 84 yards for an Oakland touchdown, putting the Raiders up nine points with 6:36 remaining.
