ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Unbeaten in their division, Sam Bradford and St. Louis Rams are starting to show they can win anywhere -- including cold and wet Buffalo -- to stay in the playoff race. Bradford capped a 14-play, 84-yard drive with a 13-yard pass to Brandon Gibson with 48 seconds left in a 15-12 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. "I think it says a lot about the maturity of the team," Bradford said. "I think this team grew up a little bit more today." For Bradford, the 2010 No. 1 draft pick enjoyed his second consecutive fourth-quarter comeback victory after rallying the Rams to a 16-13 overtime win over San Francisco last weekend. And this time it happened outside the comforts of their climate-controlled dome, and on an afternoon that featured temperatures in the high 30s, and a drizzle that fell through much of the second half. The Rams (6-6-1) stayed in the playoff hunt by winning three in a row for the first time since 2006. They improved to 2-6 outside the NFC West by winning for only the second time on the road this season, and 9-26-1 since 2007. "I think a lot of the guys this year have more confidence and theyre more determined," tight end Lance Kendricks said. "They want it. They want it more than the other team." Bradford finished 19 of 39 for 209 yards and an interception. Steven Jackson had 64 yards rushing and scored on a 1-yard plunge, while Gibson made six catches for 100 yards. Bradford delivered in the clutch by converting a pair of third-down attempts, including a third-and-10 by threading a 15-yard pass to Gibson, and a fourth-and-1. On the touchdown, Bradford rifled a pass over the middle that a leaping Gibson caught just a step ahead of rookie cornerback Ron Brooks. "Sams not a guy who gets flustered," coach Jeff Fisher said. The Bills (5-8) did. Their defence squandered a lead in the final 2 minutes at home for the second time this season after unraveling in familiar fashion in a 35-34 loss to Tennessee on Oct. 21. Safety George Wilson twice had chances to intercept Bradford on the final drive, only to drop the ball each time. "You have to be a finisher in this league," Wilson said. "Those are the plays you replay over and over in your head, wishing that the ball wouldve bounced your way." If its any consolation, there was plenty of blame to be laid on an offence which lacked finish. Buffalo came away with two field goals on three drives inside the Rams 25. That included Fred Jackson losing a fumble at the Rams 14. "Bottom line, we could not make plays to win the ballgame," coach Chan Gailey said. "It is a bitter pill to swallow." The injury count continues to mount. Already down starting centre Eric Wood (left knee) and right guard Chris Hairston (right ankle), Jackson had to be helped off the field after appearing to hurt his right leg with about 5 minutes left. Jacksons leg was sandwiched by two Rams as they made a tackle on a 2-yard run near midfield. With a towel over his head, Jackson was then carted off from the sideline, with fans chanting "Freddie! Freddie!" Gailey would only say the injury did not look good. The Bills final drive ended with 12 seconds left when Ryan Fitzpatrick fluttered a pass up the right sideline and linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar intercepted. Fitzpatrick went 25 of 33 for 247 yards passing, including a 2-yard touchdown to Lee Smith. "Weve got to develop a killer instinct," Fitzpatrick said. "And weve got to win these games if we want to be one of the teams thats sitting there at the end of the year ready for the playoffs." Rather than gaining ground on Cincinnati and Pittsburgh (they both lost Sunday, and fell to 7-6) in the AFC playoff race, the Bills are all but mathematically out of the hunt. Thats a familiar position for a team thats not been to the post-season since 1999, the NFLs longest active drought. Things are looking brighter for the Rams, a team thats not been to the playoffs since 2004 and not won eight games since 2006. Much of the credit for their resurgence comes as a result of a sturdy and aggressive defence. St. Louis limited the Bills to 281 yards and forced two turnovers. Rookie tackle Michael Brockers had 1 1/2 of St. Louis five sacks. "Were a motivated team," Brockers said. "The plane-ride home is going to be very enjoyable. We had a lot that werent this year, but this one is going to be a good one." NOTES: Rams S Craig Dahl did not return after sustaining a concussion. LT Rodger Saffold couldnt finish because of a nagging back injury. ... The Bills allowed 78 yards rushing, extending their streak to four games of holding opponents under 90. Thats the teams best stretch since a four-game streak in 1999. ... The Bills failed on an extra point when holder Shawn Powell had the ball slip through his hands. ... Bradford also completed a 2-point conversion with a pass to Chris Givens. cheap jerseys from china .J. -- Ahmad Bradshaw is ready to return as the New York Giants top running back after being sidelined for a game by an inflamed disk in his neck. wholesale jerseys .
