2019 Season: Week #5
BUFFALO 30
TENNESSEE 7
The Buffalo Bills (5-0, 2-0 AFC East) stayed perfect in dominating fashion, beating the Tennessee Titans 30-7. Buffalo's defense has looked unreal since the addition of Jalen Ramsey and that continued today as the Bills didn't allow the Titans offense to score a point. Their 7 points in this game came defensively and through 5 games, Buffalo's defense has only allowed 3 touchdowns. Not to be forgotten is a Bills offense that put up 517 yards in the win including 379 yards passing from Aaron Rodgers (3 TD, 1 INT).
"I pride myself on not turning the ball over and one got away from me today. Overall I thought we moved the ball well and we keep getting better each week." Rodgers said after the game.
Buffalo heads into their bye atop the AFC East standings.
NEW ENGLAND 21
WASHINGTON 26
The nightmare start to the season continued for the New England Patriots (1-4, 1-2 AFC East) as they dropped their week 5 matchup against Washington (2-3). The defending champs found themselves in a big hole early. After an opening touchdown drive by Washington, Teddy Bridgewater threw an interception on his first pass attempt of the game. The home team then worked their way down the field again and it was 14-0 early. The Patriots didn't panic and battled all the way back to take a 21-20 lead late. However, New England couldn't get the stop they needed on defense and Washington marched down the field to take the lead right back. After a failed two point attempt, New England had the ball with under two minutes and a chance to win. For a moment it seemed like they would do just that, marching down to the two yard line and calling timeout with 4 seconds left. However, on the last play of the game, Bridgewater was sacked and the Patriots went home empty handed.
After the game coach Chris Petersen said, "We had a shot the end and just couldn't get it done."
Alvin Kamara wasn't as polite about things afterwards, expressing frustration with safety Landon Collins and his style of play. "Man, he was out there throwing his body at people in ways that is going to get someone hurt. This isn't Madden, you can't just hit stick everyone. The league needs to look at the tape. We're just lucky no one was hurt."
New England will try to regroup in a short week before they travel home to take on the New York Giants on Thursday night.
NEW YORK JETS 17
PHILADELPHIA 13
The New York Jets defense continued their strong play of late leading the charge in a 17-13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles (2-2-1). New York (3-1, 1-1 AFC East) pressured quarterback Carson Wentz all day totaling 5 sacks and putting the Eagles in 3rd and long situations all afternoon.
"We just wanted to go out there and show them who we are. This D is one of the best in the NFL and everyone in that locker room knows it." Said Jadeveon Clowney.
The play of the game had to be a gutsy decision by coach Adam Gase to go for it on 4th and goal as time was winding down in the second half. That call resulted in a touchdown and proved to be the difference maker in this game.
"I trust Sam out there to make good decisions and with how these two defenses were playing I felt it was worth the risk." Gase said before he went on to swat at the air in front of him for some time and was escorted away by the coaching staff.
New York is in great position as they take on Tom Brady and the Cowboys next week at home.

2019 Season: Week #4
LA CHARGERS 17
MIAMI 38
The surprising Miami Dolphins (3-1) continued their improbable start to the season with a dominating 38-17 victory over the favored Los Angeles Chargers in south beach.
Miami's defense led the way early, forcing a fumble on LA's first play from scrimmage.
Fourth year linebacker Reggie Ragland caused the fumble with a crunching hit on HB Melvin Gordon.
"We see Jamal (Adams) racking up those video game forced fumble stats," Ragland said. "I needed to get in on the fun."
Adams caused yet another fumble late in the first half - one that was returned by LB Jerome Baker to the house.
CB Desmond King also had a strong game with a pair of INTs including one in the end zone early while the game was still in doubt.
"Team win today," King said. "Defense was strong but Tyrod (Taylor) also came in and lit it up."
Taylor, recently acquired from these same Chargers, was lights out in Jacoby Brissett's absence completing 80% of his passes with a trio of TDs through the air.
All Pro TE George Kittle was confirmed to have a shoulder injury that may sideline him for the next five weeks, to put a damper on the party.
Miami nows heads into their bye in 2nd place in the AFC East.
BUFFALO 25
NEW ENGLAND 13
The Buffalo Bills (4-0, 2-0 AFC East) kept their win streak alive with a 25-13 win over division rival New England (1-3, 1-2 AFC East). The Bills defense made it hard on the Patriots offense all game, including holding New England to 4 yards rushing. New addition Jalen Ramsey had a tall task in his first game as a Bill, drawing Julio Jones as a match up. He was up to the challenge though, as he held Jones to 5 catches and 65 yards. More importantly, he kept him out of the end zone.
"I'm just glad to be here." Ramsey said. "I knew it was going to be tough following Julio around all game, but I think I'm the best corner in the game, so I can match up with anyone."
On offense, Buffalo did just enough to win against a very good Patriots defense. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (31-41, 346 yds, 3 TD) made some big throws on third down to keep the Bills moving and Brandin Cooks (13 catches for 140 yds) found himself open when his team needed him.
Buffalo heads to Tennessee to take on the Titans while New England heads to our nation's capital to take on Washington.

2019 Season: Week #3
NY JETS 35
NEW ENGLAND 23
In a critical early season divisional matchup, the New York Jets (2-1, 1-1 AFC East) took it to the defending Super Bowl champions 35-23 in Foxboro. The Patriots (1-2, 1-1) never got going in a game that was never really in doubt.
"Not our best effort tonight," Chris Peterson said. "We were hoping to build off last week and just came out flat tonight."
Sam Darnold was lights out going 22-26 for 315 yards with 3 TD. A week after some unfounded trade rumors, Darnold played easily his best game as a pro.
"None of that bothered me to be honest," Darnold said. "I know who we are as an organization and where we are going - Tonight was a step ahead."
The Jets defense, who struggled in their opening divisional loss, played their best football of the season, pressuring QB Teddy Bridgewater throughout.
"We were hungry man," Trumaine Johnson said. "We've been written as underdogs but we are coming to be top dogs now."
The Pats picked up a pair of meaningless touchdowns late to make the score look respectable.
The Jets next head on their bye while New England heads to Buffalo to take on the division leading Bills.
MIAMI 34
DALLAS 28
The Miami Dolphins (2-1, 0-1 AFC East) stunned the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) 34-28 on a surreal night in East Texas.
Miami, led by their fiery defensive captain Jamal Adams, forced three turnovers while the Dolphins ground-and-pound attack punished the heavily favored Cowboys for 250 yards on the ground.
"We were dogs tonight," Adams said. "I'm out to make people have those nightmares Jon Gruden was talking about on Hard Knocks."
A week after their embarrassing loss to division rival New England, Dolphins fans also had to absorb the loss of fan favorite Jacoby Brissett for 10-weeks with a fractured elbow.
"I need to step up my elbow workout game," Brissett quipped. "I'm honestly devastated. We have a real chance to shock people and I can't be a part of it for a minute. I'll be back though."
In Brissett's absence, HB Leonard Fournette carried the load with 152 yards rushing and three TDs on the ground.
Rookie Ryan Finley went 2-3 through the air with one of his completions being fumbled by All Pro George Kittle.
"That can't happen," Kittle said. "I've honestly been a disappointment this year. My win shares are through the floor. I gotta do something different."
The Dolphins will now head home to take on Phillip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers.
BUFFALO 19
CINCINNATI 6
In a day where touchdowns were hard to come by, the Buffalo Bills (3-0, 1-0 AFC East) out kicked the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2) in a 19-6 victory. Things looked like they had the last two weeks for the Bills offense as they marched down the field on their first drive and scored a touchdown on an Aaron Rodgers to Hunter Henry connection. That would prove to be the only touchdown of the game for either offense the rest of the way. The Bills offense moved the ball relatively well, but stalled in the red zone on multiple occasions.
Running back Todd Gurley stated, "We have a to do a better job of finishing."
The Bills defense did their job however, and kept the Bengals offense to just two field goals on the day.
"A W is a W and we have our D to thank for that." Rodgers said after the game.
Buffalo takes on the New England Patriots next week at home.
