Coach Marvin Lewis had no details on the extent of the injury.Buffalos defense finished the win by knocking down Andy Daltons desperation pass into the end zone on the final play.

Two sides with confidence and designs on the top half of the table collide at The Hawthorns on Monday night to wrap up Matchday 12 as West Bromwich Albion host Burnley.The Baggies (3-4-4) are a spot below the Clarets (4-2-5) in the Premier League pecking order, and three points for either club will vault them back into the top 10. West Brom went into the break on a high after winning 2-1 at reigning champions Leicester City, and the Baggies are out to continue that style of play to reverse their home woes.Its massive. The away support at Leicester was fantastic and if we just pick it up, its trying to get the supporters to understand how big a part they do play at home and get behind the group and I think were moving in the right direction slowly and it will be a slow process here, said manager Tony Pulis to his teams official website.West Brom have taken just five points from their five home matches, with four of their six goals coming in that victory over West Ham United on Sept. 17. Defender Craig Dawson, who will make his 100th Premier League appearance if selected, is hoping this match will serve as a springboard for better things to come.I think this next group of games will be seen by everybody as a chance for us to really get our season going, Dawson said. Weve got nearly everyone fit and the gaffer has some great options -- thats why I take nothing for granted and presume I am going to be picked on Monday.Burnley had that terrific win late against Palace and they will not be short of confidence. We need our fans right behind us as always because you can never overstate how much difference that makes on the pitch.Chris Brunt appears fully recovered from offseason knee surgery and scored for Northern Ireland in their World Cup qualifier win over Azerbaijan. The veteran midfielder is looking to this stretch of schedule -- the Baggies face Hull City, Watford and Swansea after thiss match -- as a prime opportunity to grab points ahead of the busy holiday fixture list.ddddddddddddYou want to get as many points on the board before that, he said. You dont want to be looking at the games over the Christmas period thinking we need to get something here and there to keep our heads above water.Burnley have done just that in their return to the top flight after a season in the Championship. The Clarets have wins over Everton and Crystal Palace around a draw at Old Trafford versus Manchester United, and Ashley Barnes goal at the death to provide a 3-2 victory over the Eagles before the break has Sean Dyche feeling his team is in the right frame of mind.I think its a good start. I think its a solid start, at least, and with the last performance and the last win, it turns into a good start overall, Dyche told Burnleys official website. The reality is its a seasons work, so were quite clear-minded about not getting too high with the highs and too low with the lows.Forward Sam Vokes will try to continue his fine form that has seen him score three goals in Burnleys last four league matches. The Wales international has accounted for four and assisted on a fifth of the Clarets 11 goals thus far.Burnley, though, have yet to carry their success from Turf Moor to the road, where they have taken just one point from four matches and have yet to score during the run of play. Additionally, the Clarets were given a 4-0 thrashing in their only visit to The Hawthorns in the Premier League, but Dyche thinks that could help keep his team focused on the task at hand.We know that. Weve experienced that before, which is the good side to looking back two years. We have been through that before so we know we have to continue to build and move forward with the team. ' ' '
