ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- After the power went out at Ralph Wilson Stadium, Trent Edwards and Kawika Mitchell provided all the electricity the Buffalo Bills needed against the San Diego Chargers.

Edwards completed 25 of 30 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown, and Mitchell intercepted a pass from Philip Rivers at the goal line to thwart a potential go-ahead score midway through the fourth quarter to secure a 23-14 win.

Mitchell’s interception allowed Edwards to engineer a seven-play, 43-yard drive to set up Rian Lindell’s 44-yard field goal for a 23-14 lead with 3:17 remaining. Then Mitchell came through again, when he forced Rivers to fumble on San Diego’s next possession.

Edwards connected with Lee Evans on a two-yard touchdown pass and Marshawn Lynch also scored for the AFC East-leading Bills, who are off to their first 5-1 start since 1995. San Diego is 3-4.

Quoteworthy: “I was playing pretty good, and then you have three turnovers and it kills you.” -- Philip Rivers, Chargers quarterback
