When these two AFC East division rivals met on October 18th in New York, it was the Buffalo Bills defeating the New York Jets 16-13 as a 9-point road underdog. The Jets simply gave away the game committing 6 turnovers as quarterback Mark Sanchez threw 5 interceptions. The Bills won this game despite 318 rushing yards by the Jets. The Jets sit at 5-6 on the season and coming off a 17-6 home victory against the Carolina Panthers. The Jets defense was outstanding limiting the Panthers to just 75 yards on the ground and 104 yards through the air. The Jets secondary contributed with points on the scoreboard with an interception return. Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez hit on 13 of 17 last week with 154 yards no touchdowns and 1 interception. Sanchez hurt his knee in the game and left briefly but returned to the field to finish off the game. With Leon Washington out for the year it has been Thomas Jones seeing more carries. The ten-year veteran is averaging 4.4 yards a carry on the season. Defensively the Jets have been good on the year allowing just 17.7 points per game.

Buffalo got a much-needed win last week as they surprised the Miami Dolphins 31-14. The Bills were greatly aided by 4 Dolphins turnovers and held a +3 turnover margin in the game. Back up quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick filled in last week for an injured Trent Edwards and hit on 17 of 26 passes for 246 yards a touchdown and an interception. Fitzpatrick has put back-to-back quality starts, which is a total form reversal from his play last year in relief of an injured Carson Palmer in Cincinnati. In the Bills overtime victory against the Jets he went just 10 of 25 for 116 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Running back Fred Jackson has seen the bulk of the carries with 4.2 yards per carry average on the season. Jackson has been better than average running the football the past 3 games. Veteran wide receiver Terrell Owens has played another good game with Fitzpatrick at quarterback with 5 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown last week. On the defensive side of the ball the Bills are worst in the NFL against the run allowing teams to average a very high 4.8 yards a carry on the season.
