ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Sammy Watkins isnt suggesting hes feeling like his dynamic self again after the Bills receiver returned to the field for the first time in nine weeks.Whats encouraging is Watkins didnt experience any familiar discomfort in the surgically repaired left foot that forced him to the sidelines in the first place. And with the extra time off, Watkins also believes hes over whatever fears he previously had of aggravating the injury.Right now Im feeling great, he said, following Buffalos 28-21 win over Jacksonville on Sunday. I think, now I kind of got over that hump -- the mental hurdle.The Bills (6-5) won their second straight to stay in the playoff picture in a game Buffalo and Jacksonville traded the lead five times in the second half. Watkins played a role in helping the Bills overcome a second-half deficit for the second straight week, following a 16-12 win at Cincinnati last week.After being limited to two catches for 18 yards in the first half, Watkins reminded everyone how good he can be with one play in the third quarter. Bursting up the right sideline, Watkins had a step on cornerback Jalen Ramsey in making a 62-yard catch in stride on a drive quarterback Tyrod Taylor capped with a 7-yard touchdown run.I know its a limited role, but hes such a difference maker, coach Rex Ryan said. And hopefully, he can play a little more and more, because we certainly need him.Watkins return came at a time the offense is losing players to injuries.Starting receiver Robert Woods (sprained left knee) did not play, and recently signed backup Percy Harvin was sidelined with migraine headaches. Then backup receiver Walter Powell did not return Sunday after being carted off in the third quarter with an injury to his left ankle.LeSean McCoy had 103 yards rushing and scored twice, including a career-high 75-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in the second half. Taylor finished 12 of 18 for 166 yards passing, including a 16-yard go-ahead touchdown to Justin Hunter in the fourth quarter.The Jaguars (2-9) lost for the sixth straight game -- their longest skid since opening the 2014 season at 0-6. And they did so by blowing a fourth-quarter lead for the third time this season.I think weve had a little bit of Murphys Law -- if it can go wrong, it will go wrong, and at the most inopportune time, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said. But its up to us to make a play rather than leave it up to luck or a bounce or a call.ON THE RUN: McCoys two touchdowns came on consecutive touches spanning halftime. He scored on a 7-yard run with 20 seconds left in the first half to cut Jacksonvilles lead to 7-6. The extra point kick was missed.McCoy has scored two or more touchdowns in three games this season, the most by a Bills player since running back Willis McGahee did that five times in 2004.JAGS BIG OPENING: Running back Chris Ivory opened the scoring on a 2-yard run , and the Jaguars snapped the NFLs longest active drought by scoring on their opening possession for the first time in 25 games. The streak began in Week 3 of the 2015 season, and featured the Jaguars combining for three field goals, punting 18 times and turning the ball over three times.SACK ATTACK: The Jaguars Malik Jackson had two of Jacksonvilles five sacks -- their second-best total of the season. Rookie defensive end Yannick Ngakoue also had a sack to increase his team-leading total to six, one short of matching the franchise rookie record set by Tony Brackens in 1995.Marcell Dareus had both of Buffalos sacks, upping the teams total to 33, 12 more than the Bills had last season.INJURIES: Jaguars coach Gus Bradley provided no updates on his players who were injured on Sunday. RB Ivory (hamstring), WR Rashad Greene Sr. (Achilles tendon), FS Peyton Thompson (ankle) and WR Allen Hurns (hamstring), who was hurt while diving into the end zone on his touchdown catch.Bills CB Ronald Darby (concussion) and Powell (left ankle) were injured. Ryan also announced that Dareus was held out in the fourth quarter after experiencing an abdominal strain.FOURTH DOWN: The Jaguars final possession ended when Bortles hit receiver Marqise Lee on a crossing pattern over the middle on fourth-and-9 at Buffalos 45. Lee was stopped for a 4-yard gain and the Bills ran out the final 3:25. Coach Bradley elected to gamble even after the Jaguars were backed up 5 yards after drawing a delay-of-game penalty.---For more NFL coverage:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAuthentic NFL Jerseys .

Charleston missed its last four shots while the Tigers scored on their final five possessions.Brandon Sampson made a pair of field goals and Craig Victor hit four consecutive foul shots in the final 90 seconds for LSU (8-2). The Tigers other points came on a field goal by Jalyn Patterson.We took our time running the offense and let things come to us, Sampson said. We stuck to our assignments and got the ball inside. Everything just came to us instead of us rushing everything.Sampson finished with 20 points, while Victor had a season-high 18 points and 10 rebounds. The Tigers shot 50 percent from the field for the fifth time this season.I just like the way our guys dont get distracted, LSU coach Johnny Jones said. Charleston made a great run at the end in tying the game up. We had to fight back and make some plays. Our guys were poised under pressure and made some big plays down the stretch.Chealey had 23 points for the Cougars (8-4), whose five-game winning streak ended. Jarrell Brantley added 11 points.We had a couple of breakdowns on defense at the end where we tried to be aggressive, Charleston coach Earl Grant said. We missed a couple of 3s. We clawed back and never gave up. That game could have gone in any direction. We just broke down at the end and ran out of gas.BIG PICTURECharleston: Once again, the Cougars were unable to deliver a victory against a big-name school. Charleston had lost gamees earlier this season to Wake Forest (78-61) and top-ranked Villanova (63-47).ddddddddddddSU: For the third straight game, the Tigers had to hold off a mid-major team down the stretch for a victory. LSU had beaten North Carolina Central 70-66 and Texas Southern 88-80 in its two previous contests.DOMINANT POST PLAYReath and Victor, LSUs starting post players, combined for 41 points and 18 rebounds. Reath, who blocked three shots, was 10 of 16 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds. Victor was 5 of 6 from the field and 8 of 10 at the foul line. The Tigers are 4-0 since Victor entered the starting lineup. He has averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds in those four games. Two of Reaths three 20-point scoring games have come since Victor became a starter.DEFENSIVE PROBLEMSCharleston had relied upon its defense in winning eight of its first 11 games. However, the Cougars struggled stopping LSU. The Tigers made 50 percent of their field goal attempts (29 of 58). Only Central Florida and Wake Forest had shot higher than 50 percent against Charleston this season. LSU was only the second team to score more than 70 points against the Cougars. Wake Forest scored 78 points.DIFFERENT ROLEAntonio Blakeney, who averaged 22 points in LSUs three previous games, took only eight shots against Charleston. Blakeney made three and scored just seven points.
