    Rookie EJ Manuel hit Stevie Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown pass with 2 seconds left to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 24-23 win over the Carolina Panthers.

    The touchdown capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive in which the first-round draft pick completed 6 of 8 attempts for 51 yards. Manuel also got help on third-and-6 from Carolina's 29, when Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly was penalized for pass interference with 14 seconds left.
    Two plays later, Manuel found Johnson alone in the left corner as Buffalo (1-1) bounced back from a 23-21 season-opening loss to New England.

    The Panthers (0-2) lost yet another close game after coming off a 12-7 loss to Seattle last week and have now dropped to 2-14 in games decided by 7 points or less in two-plus seasons under coach Ron Rivera.

    Bills are going to ruin some teams playoffs dreams this year. Next year, they'll really challenge New England for tops in the division

    i've only seen highlights thus far (I typically only watch 5 or 6 games a week and the bills typically aren't high on my list to watch) but at some point i will watch one of their games because i'm interested to see how he looks.

    From what I have read he was very poor until the last drive against 3rd and 4th stringers.

    i'm confused. why would the panthers have their 3rd and 4th stringers playing in a late, close game?
