ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Bills owner Ralph Wilson has received his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring in a halftime ceremony during Buffalo's game against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Wilson, who was inducted into the Hall in August, was awarded the seventh AFL franchise in October 1959. Hall of Fame president and executive director Stephen Perry presented Wilson his ring at midfield. ``In all my exciting years, I've given out some rings but I've never gotten one,'' Wilson said before telling the fans t |

| Fitzpatrick jersey sales probably did not undergo a noticeable spike following the Bills' 20-9 win at the Carolina Panthers last Sunday. But if Fitzpatrick engineers another victory on Sunday when he leads the Bills into battle against the emerging Houston Texans at Ralph Wilson Stadium, that situation could change drastically. Fitzpatrick, making his first start as a Bill after relieving the injured Trent Edwards (concussion) midway through a sloppy win at the Jets in Week 6, didn't evoke memories of the K- |

Hill's production has dropped off mightily after a solid start to the year, however, and he gave way to Smith following a very ineffective first half of last Sunday's game with the Houston Texans. In his first regular-season action since November of 2007, Smith put up 206 yards and tossed three touchdowns to tight end Vernon Davis in just two quarters of work as the Niners' nearly overcame a 21-point halftime deficit in a 24-21 loss.

That said, Fitzpatrick managed the win, and will get a chance to manage another when the Houston Texans visit Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. The Bills are being cautious with Edwards, and the fact that Fitzpatrick has walked off the field a winning quarterback the past two weeks can't be hurting that approach.
