ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Rian Lindell's 28-yard field goal as time expired Sunday lifted the Buffalo Bills to a 34-31 victory over the New England Patriots.

The winning kick snapped Buffalo's 15-game losing streak to the Pats.

The Bills (3-0) picked off New England's Tom Brady four times in overcoming a 21-0 deficit and notched their first victory over the Patriots since 2003.
