The Buffalo Bills travel to Arlington, Texas this Sunday to take on the Dallas Cowboys at Jerry Jones’ monument to excess, the $1.3 billion Cowboys Stadium. For Bills RB Fred Jackson, the trip to Dallas is a homecoming, as the game will be played in the Fort Worth native’s old backyard.
Quite literally I might add.
See, when Jerry Jones decided to build Cowboys Stadium back...

As the Buffalo Bills pull into the parking lot of the $1.12 billion Cowboys Stadium this weekend, Buffalo running back, Fred Jackson, will be coming home.
Literally.

Jackson has appeared on a couple already, but the latest is that of Yahoo Sports Jason Cole, who wrote the following about him.
RB Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills – There is only one running back on this team. Sadly, that prevents LeSean McCoy(notes) from making it as Jackson barely edged him on the strength of slightly...

In a strange way, Cowboy Stadium should feel like home to Bills running back Fred Jackson. That's because he and his family used to live in the southeast corner before Jerry Jones built is palace.

IRVING -- Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson will certainly be playing in a homecoming game Sunday at Cowboys Stadium. After all, Jackson grew up in a house that eventually was demolished during the construction of Cowboys Stadium.
The AFC's leading rusher was born in Fort Worth and attended Arlington Lamar High School.

Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick pledged at the beginning of the season not to cut his beard until the season was over. At the midway point some of his teammates are worried that it’s taking over his head.
Appearing on NFL Network this week Fred Jackson was asked (tongue in cheek) if Fitz’s beard is taking over. This was his response.
“[Laughing] It is [taking over],” Jackson said...

Sunday's Cowboys-Bills game is so full of storylines they may not all fit inside Cowboys Stadium.
The game is full of intrigue. It's a homecoming. It's the return of a fired coach. It's an AFC-NFC battle between two teams contending for the playoffs. It's even a love story.
Yes, a love story.
There's also some history between the teams as the Bills and...

What’s up with the Cowboys run defense?
In a word, it’s been pitiful the last two games, yielding a whopping 401 yards. That’s a major surprise, considering Dallas gave up just 418 total over the first six games for a league-best per-game average of 69.6 yards.
Given all that, the Bills’ Fred Jackson must be licking his chops. Two weeks ago, Philadelphia’s LeSean McCoy...

Most Bills fans will take 5-3 at the midway point of the season, right? If you asked me in August, I'd have taken that record in an instant, but after the 3-0 start, I'm not so sure. Maybe the beginning of the year got my hopes too high. Who knows.
In true Bills form, they've treated us to some extremely high highs and most recently, some low lows. It's...
