Orchard Park, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills defense was on its heels all the way up to the New England Patriots' final play on Sunday at Bills Stadium.
That’s when someone stepped up to make a play. Defensive tackle Justin Zimmer came flying across the field to force a fumble by Patriots quarterback Cam Newton as he ran close to the Bills' end zone. Safety Dean Marlowe, who was playing for injured starter Micah Hyde, recovered the ball to seal a close 24-21 division win over the rival Patriots.
The Bills got their run game going to the tune of 190 yards on the ground.
