Florham Park, NJ – The Jets were a bad football team a year ago. Like inventing a new word for bad, bad. They were 28th in the league in offense, 30th in passing and their usually dominant defense sprung leaks, ranking 26th against the run. Football Outsiders ranked the Jets 27th in total DVOA and…
The Jets look to have their first winning streak of the season as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans. Both teams finished 6-10 last season, and have matching 2-1 records to start this season. Neither team was expected to factor much in the playoff race this season, but they’ve surprised so…
The Jets defense had bottled up EJ Manuel, as well as the Bills rushing attack, all afternoon.

FLORHAM PARK, NJ – After a solid preseason debut, Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel got a congratulatory text message from a childhood friend and fellow rookie – Geno Smith. The two young starters met at football camp in high school and stayed in touch throughout college and during the draft process, where they were the…
Florham Park, NJ – It certainly isn’t comforting to find your top draft pick riding the bench after two games, especially a pick in the top 10. But Dee Milliner doesn’t seem like a bust. While Milliner struggled on Thursday, the game came on a short week against a top quarterback and coach. It’s not…
Florham Park, NJ – Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel could’ve been a New York Jet. In fact, he expected to be. “Definitely,” Manuel said, when asked if he thought the Jets might draft him. “I did think they were one of the teams that were very interested in me. I guess they just wanted to…
