Bills 16, Redskins 21: Buffalo loses a forgettable preseason game after bumpy two minute drill

The Bills kept it close but came up yet again at the goal line to end the game.

If you didn't get to watch this game live, you could be forgiven for not seeking out a recording. In an effort to avoid injuries (possibly inspired by the stories about Washington's lousy turf), Rex Ryan took the unusual move of leaving his entire starting defense inactive during Buffalo's third preseason game. LeSean McCoy, Charles Clay, and Cordy Glenn also stayed out of this one, and while Tyrod Taylor, Eric Wood, Richie Incognito, and Sammy Watkins all made appearances, they were brief.
