Today's Game

The Bills beat the Raiders, 26-21, at Candlestick Park. The Raiders kept it close throughout and had a chance to take the lead late, but a promising drive was snuffed by sacks of quarterback Tom Flores by Buffalo defensive end LaVerne Torczon on consecutive plays.

Flores left the game briefly during the second quarter after he lost one of his contact lenses.
