Redman fuels Falcons past Bills

Aug 18, 2007 - 2:08 AM ORCHARD PARK, New York (Ticker) -- Chris Redman tossed a one-yard touchdown pass to George Cooper in the fourth quarter to lift the Atlanta Falcons to a 13-10 preseason victory over the Buffalo Bills on Friday.

Redman, who finished 11-of-21 for 90 yards and a touchdown, came on for his second stint of the night after third-string quarterback D.J. Shockley suffered a knee injury and left the field on a cart.

Atlanta's Joey Harrington, who has taken over the starting role during Michael Vick's legal troubles, was 4-of-7 for 31 yards.

Buffalo's first-round selection - and 12th overall - Marshawn Lynch had his second straight lackluster preseason performance. After rushing for three yards on two carries against New Orleans, Lynch had five carries for 16 yards vs. the Falcons.

The Bills (1-1) took a 10-6 lead after Roscoe Parrish caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Trent Edwards with 10:07 remaining in the third quarter.

Billy Cundiff had field goals of 32 and 46 yards for Atlanta (1-1), while Rian Lindell booted a 48-yarder for Buffalo.
