都说事不过三，对于丹佛野马的踢球手杰森·埃兰（Jason Elam）亦是如此。在15年的职业生涯里，他从来没有在一场比赛里射丢3次点球。在今天的比赛中，这一规律仍然应验。

　　比赛还剩18秒的时候，野马队的加文·沃克（Javon Walker）接传球11码，球队获得了最后一博的机会。于是在比赛时钟走到最后一秒的时候，本场错失两粒点球的埃兰用一记42码的射门得分绝杀布法罗比尔，帮助野马在最后时刻以15-14完成逆转。埃兰今天的最后一踢是他职业生涯中第21个绝杀或者追平比分的关键球。

　　除了埃兰，新加盟各自球队的两名跑卫——野马的特拉维斯·亨利（Travis Henry ）和比尔的马肖恩·林奇（Marshawn Lynch）——也奉献了精彩的处子秀。亨利冲球139码，林奇冲球90码，并有一次23码的达阵。

　　比尔主力外接手李·埃文斯（Lee Evans）表现不佳，全场只接传球2次，总距离5码。四分卫J.P.罗斯曼（J.P. Losman）传球21次，成功14次，总传球97码。球队的防守组有3人受伤，同时近端锋凯文·埃弗雷特（Kevin Everett）在脖子严重受伤后接受了手术。

原文 

It was over when……

Jason Elam, who had missed two field goals earlier, nailed the game-winning kick as time expired, in one of the most improbable sequences in recent memory. Without any time outs, Javon Walker caught an 11-yard pass with 18 seconds remaining and the Broncos were able to get the field-goal unit out in time for Elam's 42-yard kick.

Game balls

Other than Elam? Running backs Travis Henry and Marshawn Lynch had smashing debuts for their respective teams. Henry rushed for 139 yards for the Broncos, while Lynch had 90 yards and an impressive 23-yard touchdown in which the rookie mowed down a Broncos defender on the 1-yard line.

Key stat

Bills receiver Lee Evans had only two receptions for 5 yards. Buffalo should have taken a couple of shots downfield (although they did once late in the fourth quarter), but give credit to the Broncos' defensive backs and coordinator Jim Bates for taking away the Bills' big-play threat.

Noteworthy

Elam's kick was the 21st game-winning or game-tying kick of his career. …… Bills TE Kevin Everett had surgery after a severe neck injury, while the Bills defense suffered three injuries.
