Buffalo's win gives Bills 4-0 record

The Bills, off to their best start since 1992, keep the Rams winless. St. Louis Coach Scott Linehan benches quarterback Marc Bulger in favor of 38-year-old Trent Green.

For the first time in 16 years, the Buffalo Bills are 4-0. Unlike the previous two weeks, there was no need for late-game heroics. Jabari Greer's 33-yard interception return was the go-ahead score in an 18-point fourth-quarter salvo that finished off the go-for-broke St. Louis Rams, 31-14.

After three blowout losses and amid rumors he might be fired during the team's bye week, Rams Coach Scott Linehan benched quarterback Marc Bulger in favor of 38-year-old Trent Green. Linehan had six new starters in all, four on defense. The shakeup worked for a while, with rookie receiver Donnie Avery scoring on a 37-yard pitch and the defense sacking Trent Edwards four times in the first half. The Bills' first defensive score of the year -- also Greer's first career touchdown -- came off an overthrown pass.

The Bills look to improve to 5-0 this week at Arizona, before their bye week. The Bills return home to Ralph Wilson Stadium to face the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, October 19th. The Bills play their home games at Ralph Wilson Stadium on a state-of-the-art infilled GameDay Grass system from AstroTurf. Installed in 2003, the Bills have one of the longest-lasting synthetic turf surfaces in the NFL.
