‘The Jets didn’t laugh their way through their 31-13 win over Buffalo, though they dominated the Bills with one of their most complete games of the season.’

‘The Jets limited Bledsoe to 181 passing yards while sacking and intercepting him twice. “The key to football is not giving up the big plays,” said Jets cornerback Aaron Beasley, who made one instead.’

‘After watching Bills’ quarterback Drew Bledsoe repeatedly team up with receivers Peerless Price and Eric Moulds in the season-opener, the Jets shut the trio down yesterday.’

‘The Jets now appear to be the team that they – and many others – believed themselves to be coming out of training camp.’

‘People say the defense is better, but it didn’t change players. The offense did. It changed quarterbacks, and the Jets simply aren’t beating themselves as they did two months ago.’

‘”I would’ve thought that, as a team, we would have a bit more of a sense of urgency,” said Buffalo guard Ruben Brown. “We didn’t overcome. But we know we have talent. We know we have good players. We just have to start getting the job done."’

‘The Jets (6-5) completed a sweep of their AFC East rivals and remained in second place, one game behind the Miami Dolphins (7-4). The loss was the second in a row for the Bills (5-6), who fell into last place in the division and host Miami next week.’
