ORCHARD PARK, N. Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys .Y. -- Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buffalo Bills arent ready to be counted out just yet. With his job security in question and the Bills playoff hopes dim at best, the quarterback helped Buffalo deliver one of its most complete performances of the season. Despite finishing the game minus his two top receivers, Fitzpatrick directed the offence to score points on five consecutive drives in 34-18 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Bills (5-7) won for only the third time in eight games to stay mathematically in contention. "We have a lot of belief in our locker room, and we are not in the most ideal situation. But we lose todays game, and we know were out of it," Fitzpatrick said. "We felt like this was one we should win, and needed to win." They did it in resilient fashion after losing five regulars to injuries, and in sloppy conditions -- with a persistent drizzle falling for much of the afternoon. Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 1-yard run. Fred Jackson had 109 yards rushing, and C.J. Spiller scored on a 44-yard touchdown run to provide a spark to an injury-depleted offence that was already missing No. 2 receiver Donald Jones (calf). The injuries then mounted as leading receiver Stevie Johnson (left hamstring), starting centre Eric Wood (left knee) and starting right tackle Chris Hairston (right ankle) all couldnt finish the game. The Bills also got a boost from a Mario Williams-led defence that forced two turnovers, had four sacks, stopped the Jaguars on all three fourth-down attempts and allowed just 236 yards. "Im not worried about a month ago," defensive tackle Kyle Williams said, when reminded of how many games the Bills had squandered. "Obviously, yes, we wish we couldve played this well earlier. But the only thing I can control is whats in front of me." The Jaguars (2-10) played the role of pushover in failing to carry over much momentum a week after they ended a seven-game skid with a 24-19 win over Tennessee. "We did take a step back," quarterback Chad Henne said. "It was poor execution on our part." After going 33 of 59 for 615 yards and six TDs in his past two games, Henne struggled against Buffalo. He finished 18 of 41 for 208 yards passing. He lost a fumble, after being stripped by Mario Williams, and also threw a game-ending interception that was picked off by safety Jairus Byrd. Henne scored on a 1-yard run, and also connected with Cecil Shorts III for a 5-yard touchdown a play after Bills backup punt-returner Justin Rodgers fumbled a punt inside his own 10 early in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, the Jaguars had difficulty moving the ball. After Henne scored to put them ahead 10-7 with 3:47 left in the second quarter, the Jaguars managed just five first downs on their next four possessions, which ended with a lost fumble, a failed fourth-down conversion and two punts. The Bills went ahead for good with 1:56 left in the second quarter when Fitzpatrick hit tight end Scott Chandler for an 11-yard touchdown. Mario Williams forced fumble, which he recovered at the Jaguars 14 set up Rian Lindells 29-yard field goal. Fitzpatrick then opened the second half by capping an eight-play, 57-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Johnson. Fitzpatrick had entered the game having managed just three touchdown passes in his previous four outings. "Football is not a game about numbers. Its about wins and trying to go out and play better than the other team," Fitzpatrick said. "Not a lot of people want to come and play that game especially as a quarterback in terms of the wind, the rain, whatever. Those are the games that weve got to win." The loss spoiled first-year Jaguars coach Mike Mularkeys first trip to Buffalo since he abruptly resigned after two seasons as Bills coach in January 2006. "I dont think we gave ourselves a chance to make it a game," Mularkey said. "I thought after the last two weeks, we were really making progress." Instead, the Jaguars remain in jeopardy of their worst season in 18 years -- dating to their 4-12 finish in 1995, their first year in the NFL. It wasnt a sweet homecoming for linebacker Paul Posluszny, even though the former Bills player had an interception. "We came up very short," Posluszny said. "If we wouldve fought as hard as we could and played our best ball and lost, thats one thing. But that was not the case." Injuries also caught up with the Jaguars. Already playing without running back Maurice Jones-Drew (foot), the Jaguars lost his backup Rashad Jennings (concussion), who sustained a head injury early in the second quarter. Shorts scored on a 5-yard catch before leaving the game with a concussion in the fourth quarter. NOTES: Fitzpatrick and Johnson have combined for 22 touchdowns, moving into a tie for fourth on the team list in joining Jim Kelly and Pete Metzelaars. ... Chandlers touchdown was his sixth of the season, matching the teams single-season record for tight ends shared by himself (2011), Metzelaars (1992) and Jay Riemersma (1998). ... The Jaguars squandered a chance to score 20 points in three straight games for the first time since a four-game streak in 2010.

MONTREAL -- With Wang Meng back on the ice and in top form, Jessica Gregg and the Canadian womens short track speed skating team have a real race on their hands. Gregg claimed silver in the womens sprint as Canada won three medals on Saturday in the womens and mens 500-metre events in World Cup short-track speedskating. Wang won her second straight womens 500-metre final and Liang Wenhao won the mens 500-metre gold medal as China swept both sprint events at the Maurice Richard Arena. Wang, the world record holder and two-time Olympic champion in the sprint event, also won last weekend in Calgary when she returned from a 13-month suspension following an altercation with a coach. "Were both kind of coming back so its kind of making the 500 that much more exciting," said Gregg, who is trying to bounce back from an injury-plagued season. "Were both battling so its kind of nice to have the best in the world to skate against again." Edmontons Gregg reached out at the finish line to beat out Mengs teammate, Liu Quihong, who claimed bronze. "It was really close at the line," said Gregg. "All four of us are really fast 500-metre skaters so it was going to come down to the finish. I just tried to hold my position and get a good shot at the line, and I was able to stay in second." Marianne St-Gelais of Saint-Felicien, Que., finished fourth in the womens 500-metre final. She had been questionable for the meet earlier in the week after hitting her head in a spill during last weekends event in Calgary. "I was a little bit scared because we had to go through a process with steps and I was at the fourth step on Thursday so I was afraid that I might not be on the ice Friday," St-Gelais said. "For me that was a little concussion. I think mmy helmet saved my life this time. Wholesale Super Bowl Jerseys. " In mens competition, Charles Hamelin of Sainte-Julie, Que., took silver and Olivier Jean of Lachenaie, Que., won bronze in the 500-metre event. "Olivier and I had a big battle and I think thats what cost us gold and silver," Hamelin said. "We lost speed every time we passed each other. The ice here isnt fast enough to make tight passes without losing speed and thats what cost us the gold medal." The Canadian womens team recovered from an early slip to qualify for Sundays 3000-metre relay final along with South Korea, Japan, China and Russia. The mens squad finished third in its semi-final, behind Great Britain and China, and failed to qualify for the 5000-metre relay final. "Were disappointed for sure and Im especially disappointed because I made the mistake," said Jean, who skated five 500-metre races Saturday, including three races in the morning repechage. "I could have made a better pass than that, just be more careful with the contact." South Korea and the United States also advanced to the mens relay final. Canada will compete in the relegation final. "We win as a team and we lose as a team," Canadian short track director Yves Hamelin said. Suk Hee Shim and Ha-Ri Cho finished first and second, respectively, in the womens 1500-metre final as South Korea came close to sweeping the event.
