The loss ruined coach Mike Mularkey's debut with Buffalo, and the blame can squarely be placed on a Drew Bledsoe-led offense that bumbled. Buffalo dominated the time of possession by more than seven minutes and settled for 10 points despite three trips into the red zone.
That included Rian Lindell's 25-yard field goal after safety Izell Reese intercepted a Leftwich pass giving the Bills the ball on the Jaguars 3.
"I'm a little bit in shock," said Bledsoe. "I really felt we were in control of the ballgame the whole way."
Bledsoe finished 17-for-26 for 153 yards.
So sure was Bledsoe that things were going to turn out well, that he spent the past two weeks preparing how he was going to present the game ball to Mularkey.
That's now on hold.
