Story line: Bills rookie RB Marshawn Lynch (153 yards) threw 8-yard TD pass to TE Robert Royal for 26-21 lead with 5:51 left. On next possession, he ran for 56-yard TD as Bills won 3rd in row and 4th of 5 with 479 yards of offense, their most since ’02.
Star: Bengals’ T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught 10th TD, extending scoring streak to 8 games — longest to start season since Elroy Hirsch scored in 10 straight in 1961.
Extra point: Bengals WR Chad Johnson taken off on stretcher with 2:00 left and transported to Buffalo-area hospital after complaining of neck pain. He rejoined team in time for flight home after tests came back normal.
