Research Notes


<table class="mod-data mod-pbp"><tbody><tr class="even"><td>NEXT LEVEL: Fred Jackson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10195/fred-jackson) had a 43-yard rushing touchdown outside the left tackle on Sunday. In the first two weeks of this season he has 103 rushing yards in that direction, exceeding his total from last season (78 yards and 2 TD).
</td></tr><tr class="even"><td>NEXT LEVEL: Ryan Fitzpatrick (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8664/ryan-fitzpatrick) picked apart the Raiders' secondary with underneath throws, throwing the game-winning touchdown pass and completing 69 percent of his passes on throws fewer than 10 yards. Last season, Fitzpatrick ranked in the bottom five in the NFL in completion percentage and NFL passer rating on throws of that distance.
</td></tr><tr class="even"><td>The Bills have scored a combined 79 points in their first two games of the season. That's the 2nd-most points scored in the first two games in franchise history. The record is 87 points by the 1991 team. That 1991 team finished 13-3 and lost in the Super Bowl.
</td></tr><tr class="even"><td>From Elias: The Bills are the first team since the 2007 Steelers to score a TD on every possession they had in the 2nd half. The last team to win a game when trailing at the half and then scoring a TD on every 2nd half possession was the 1996 Redskins, who trailed 13-10 at the Jets but scored a TD on all 3 2nd half possessions and won 31-16:
</td></tr><tr class="even"><td>The Raiders have scored 21 points in the first half against the Bills. Is the 3rd time since the start of last season in which they scored at least 21 1st-half points. From the 2007-09 seasons, the Raiders had no instances of scoring 21 1st-half points.

Jackson is a beast, and the left side of the o-line has been playing better than I expected up to this point.

Remember that the Bills used their backup offense for much of the 4th quarter against the Chefs. They could easily have scored another 10 points.

How about the fact this line isn't giving up sacks, and opening holes ?
