It would have been a tough task even at full strength, but the banged up Buffalo Bills dropped their third straight at home, losing to the still undefeated Cincinnati Bengals 34-21 at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday.
C.J. Spiller returned a kickoff 102 yards and rookie WR Sammy Watkins - a fellow Clemson alum - added eight catches, 117 yards and his first career touchdown to help lead the Buffalo Bills to a 29-10 home opening win over the Dolphins in front of a roaring sell-out crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday.
The Buffalo Bills traded up during the first round of Thursday's NFL draft and grabbed super talented wide receiver Sammy Watkins out of Clemson University with the fourth overall pick.
