NEW YORK JETS 6
BUFFALO BILLS 48
The Buffalo Bills (17-0) made quick work of the visiting New York Jets (12-6) Saturday afternoon 48-6. The weather was the story early when a cold front brought ample amounts of snow, but the Bills changed that narrative to one of total domination. Buffalo's defense got a stop early and Aaron Rodgers took the offense down the field for a touchdown. The tone was set on that drive when the Bills offense decided to go for it on fourth down on the New York 15-yard line. Buffalo was not going to take their foot off the gas.
"This is the playoffs. We play to win." Coach Eric Bieniemy said. "Plus with the snow, it was really difficult out there for the kicking game."
The Bills defense kept the Jets out of the red zone the rest of the first half and the offense put New York to bed. Rodgers was only asked to pass early on, completing all sixteen of his attempts for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns. From there on out, the rushing attack wound the clock down and the score up. Todd Gurley rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns while Damien Williams added 71 yards and two touchdowns of his own.
New York was disappointed in their outing but did find a silver lining reflecting back on their season.
"Everyone doubted this team. They said the roster wasn't good enough to compete." Coach Chad Pennington said. "For us to make the run we did, I'm proud of our guys."
As for Buffalo, they will host the AFC Championship game next week against New England as they continue their quest for a perfect season.
NEW ENGLAND 40
TENNESSEE 3
New England (13-5) continued their late season dominance by steamrolling the Tennessee Titans (10-7) on Sunday afternoon.
Tennessee moved the ball early and went up 3-0 before New England rattled off 40 straight points to earn a trip to take on the 17-0 Buffalo Bills next week in rematch of last year's AFC Championship game.
"One game at a time." Coach Chris Petersen said after the game. "We've lost to [Buffalo] two times already this year. Both games were really close late. We just got to get over the hump."
