PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Kelly Leads Bills to Victory

It was an easy night for veteran Jim Kelly and a rough night for rookie Heath Shuler.

Kelly, who had been bothered by tendinitis in his throwing shoulder, completed nine of 12 passes, including his first seven, as the Buffalo Bills went on to beat the Washington Redskins, 13-11, at Orchard Park, N.Y.

Shuler, the No. 3 pick in this year’s draft, did not practice with the Redskins until Wednesday because of a contract holdout. Playing the second quarter, he completed four of 10 passes for 47 yards.
