<p>Matt Prater's an 18-season NFL veteran with a distinguished kicking career that includes two Pro Bowls.</p>

<p>He's never had a week like this.</p>

<p>Prater, 41, signed with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday after Buffalo's regular kicker Tyler Bass landed on injured reserve with a hip/groin injury. On Sunday, he hit the game-winning field goal in a Week 1 game that could very well stand up as the NFL's game of the season once the regular season is done.</p>

<p>The Bills overcame a 15-point fourth quarter deficit to stun the fellow Super Bowl contending Baltimore Ravens for a 41-40 win. Prater capped the game with a 32-yard field goal as time expired to secure the win.</p>

<p>Bills quarterback Josh Allen led the comeback to punctuate a 394-yard passing effort that included four total touchdowns. After the game, he was stoked to celebrate with his new teammate.</p>

<p>Allen ran to find Prater on the field after the victory was secured and greeted him with a bear hug.</p>

<p>"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Allen screamed, grabbing Prater's attention. "Welcome to Buffalo, baby."</p>

<p>Allen then sung Prater's praises postgame while explaining how the two met just last week.</p>

<p>Josh Allen: "Honestly, I met (Matt Prater) in the locker room 2 days ago, he showed me a video of his son playing quarterback...and today before the game he comes up to me...before we even take the field, he just said hey I promise you I'm gonna give you everything I got tonight" pic.twitter.com/j77sRODbj6</p>

<p>"Honestly, I met him in the locker room two days ago," Allen said. "He showed me a video of his son playing quarterback. Today before the game, he comes up to me in the locker room before we even take the field.</p>

<p>"He says 'I promise you I'm gonna give you everything I've got tonight.' This guy's been around the league for long time. I'm just thankful he's here for us."</p>

<p>Prater's job with the Bills could have a short shelf life. Bass is a five-year veteran with the team with a track record of success and will presumably return to the job once he's healthy.</p>

<p>But Prater's already endeared himself with his teammates and Bills fandom with his clutch role in a big win as Buffalo seeks the franchise's first Super Bowl victory.</p>
