An incredible Fred Jackson run in overtime set up a game-winning kick for Dan Carpenter, as the Buffalo Bills shocked the Chicago Bears in Week One.

Many fans and analysts were anxious to see the Bills on the field with some high expectations for quarterback E.J. Manuel in his sophomore campaign, and the team showed up big and made the plays when they needed to in order to get their season off on the right foot.

There is some room for improvement — like 3rd down efficiency — but Buffalo seems to be a team that is heading in the right direction and they overcame a huge test in the opener.
