Tyler Thigpen threw a game-tying TD pass in the Bills NFL exhibition win over the Jaguars on Saturday.
(AP) -- ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Rian Lindell hit a 40-yard field goal with 3:04 left in overtime to lift the Buffalo Bills to a 35-32 preseason victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in a game that lasted nearly four hours on Saturday night.
Lindell's kick came after Jacksonville's Josh Scobee missed a 53-yard attempt.
It was a back-and-forth game in which Buffalo squandered a 17-point first-half lead and had to overcome a 15-point second-half deficit.
With much of the crowd gone by halftime, Tyler Thigpen out of Coastal Carolina, forced overtime by hitting Paul Hubbard on a 4-yard touchdown pass with 38 seconds left, then hooking up again for a 2-point conversion.
Thigpen completed 12 of 28 passes for 101 yards, 1 TD pass and two interceptions.
Jacksonville dropped to 1-2 this preseason, the same record as Buffalo.
