Bills Finally Win One; Lions' Road Skid Reaches 25
Fred Jackson scored two touchdowns in leading the Buffalo Bills to their first victory of the season, a 14-12 win over Detroit that sent the Lions to an NFL-record setting 25th consecutive road loss.
Jackson scored on a 1-yard plunge and a 16-yard catch Sunday in a sloppy game played in rain-soaked conditions between two perennial losers.
Buffalo (1-8) ended what had been its worst start to a season since going 0-11 in 1984.
The Lions (2-7) broke the road losing streak they set in dropping 24 in a row from 2001-2003.
