The Buffalo Bills-Detroit Lions game was tied with two minutes left as Kyle Orton (back in uniform after getting the call earlier this week) started Buffalo's final drive, but the Bills were unable to cross midfield and had to punt, giving the Lions the ball on the 11-yard line with 1:02 left. Matthew Stafford then threw to wide receiver Golden Tate for a massive 55-yard gain, but was unable to get another first down. Lions kicker Alex Henery then missed his third kick of the day -- the Lions have missed a field goal in every game so far this season.
Lions miss, Bills make: A story in field goals

The Bills got the ball back, and rookie Sammy Watkins had a huge catch to get Buffalo into field goal range. But kicker Dan Carpenter still had to kick the 58-yard game-winner. Which he did.
Woo indeed, Kyle Orton. Woo indeed.
