Bills hope to end four-game skid vs. lowly Chiefs

Nov 18, 2008 - 6:28 PM BUFFALO (5-5) AT KANSAS CITY (1-9), 1:00 pm EST

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Four weeks ago, the first-place Buffalo Bills were looking to pull away in the AFC East. Now, they are hoping to get out of last.

The Bills try to end a four-game losing streak when they meet the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

After losing three straight contests to division foes, Buffalo suffered a 29-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Rian Lindell missed a 47-yard field goal with 43 seconds to play as the Bills (5-5) came up short again.

Marshawn Lynch rushed for 119 yards and had 10 receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown, while Trent Edwards overcame three early interceptions with a late touchdown run that gave Buffalo 27-26 lead in the fourth quarter.

It was the first 100-yard rushing performance of the season for Lynch, who has gained 631 yards and six scores on the ground. He has not scored a rushing TD in the last three games, though.

The Chiefs are also in last place, but - unlike the Bills - they have no chance at the postseason this year.

Kansas City (1-9) was handed its sixth consecutive defeat last Sunday, suffering a 30-20 setback to the New Orleans Saints. Tyler Thigpen tossed a pair of touchdowns to Dwayne Bowe, but threw his first interception since Week Three.

Thigpen, who has started the last four weeks, has 1,337 passing yards and 10 touchdowns with five interceptions this season. He also has a rushing and receiving score.

The 24-year-old Thigpen has filled in admirably since taking over as the starter, keeping games close with an efficient passing attack. He passed for 945 yards and eight TDs with just one pick in that span.
