We beat up on the Dolphins, but that was expected. Who can't beat up on the Dolphins? No one as of right now. If I were in charge of the Dolphins, I would just give up the season and put all of my faith in Luck. Andrew Luck from Stanford as the second coming of Dan Marino.
The Jets were able to beat the Chargers at home. And go figure, the Jets, a traditionally good road team, are undefeated at home and haven't won on the road. This is a quarterback/coach tandem that has more road playoff wins than any other in the history of the NFL.
The win against the Chargers was reminiscent of Jets wins in the last two season. Trailing going into the half, coming out with halftime adjustments and dominating the rest of the game. We're finally starting to see the defense coming around. Making plays when you have to is essential. That's what the Jets are starting to do. And finally we're seeing the potential of ex-con Plaxico Burress. Three touchdown catches, all of them in the red zone. A place where the Jets have always struggled, perhaps no more now that Sanchez and Plax are starting to click.

Looking at the highlights, you'll see class Jets Football. When there's that sense of urgency the Jets Defense steps up. The Revis interception, the Wilson pick to seal it and the stopping any chance of a Phillip Rivers' led Charger comeback.
Next up are the Buffalo Bills, who if the season ended today would win the AFC East. This is a team that has been so bad over the last couple of years I haven't been cheering against them like a do for the Patriots and Dolphins. I have to start changing my practices. This will be a tough match on the road. Buffalo is a tough place to play whether the Bills are good or bad. This year the Bills are much improved and should prove to be a real challenge on Sunday.
