Buffalo Bills, He was 4-4 on PATs and 1-2 on FGs.       

 
With the season the Cincinnati Bengals have put together in 2010, fans were not too surprised that the Bengals blew a 21-point lead to lose yet another game Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. In fact, the biggest surprise may have been that Cincinnati had a 21-point lead to begin with. Despite the loss, Bengals' fans in eastern Kentucky had something to cheer about as one of their own made his NFL debut.

Aaron Pettrey, former Ohio State Buckeye and Raceland Ram, was signed by Cincinnati last week after place kicker Mike Nugent tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a 23-17 loss in Indianapolis last Sunday. The Kentucky post reported that "his kicking leg gave out as he chased his onside kick late in the game, ending his season."

Pettrey was perfect on extra points (4/4) and 1-2 on field goal attempts, making a 19-yard kick.
