Lewis hangs tough, but can't match Brees

NEW ORLEANS -- It was a hit that knocked the wind out of Thad Lewis and almost took the air out of the Buffalo Bills' sails, just one play into their biggest road test of the season. Lewis, the starting quarterback only after an injury to EJ Manuel, took a jarring hit from behind on the first play of the Bills' 35-17 loss Sunday in New Orleans, staying on the ground for over a minute before coming to his feet. Although the ball squirted loose and was recovered by the Saints, Lewis remarkably did not miss an offensive play.
