The AFC East standings stayed the same after Week 12, as all four teams in the division won their matchups.
New England remained in first place by defeating an injury-riddled Tennessee Titans team that was missing their top two wide receivers and the best running back in the NFL. Their defense was able to force three fumbles and an interception that held Mike Vrabel’s team to just 13 points. The win also put the Patriots in second place in the conference.
The Bills took care of the Saints on Thursday night. Despite Josh Allen throwing two interceptions, Buffalo’s defense returned to form and held New Orleans’ offense to just six points. Allen ended up throwing for four touchdowns and did his best to calm critics who have been saying that his team isn’t really a contender.
Brian Flores’ team is still in third after beating down on the Carolina Panthers this week 33-10. Miami’s defense got Cam Newton benched in the fourth quarter after he completed just five of his 21 pass attempts with two interceptions. And, after weeks of the offense struggling, they popped for three touchdowns against one of the league’s best defenses.
The Jets defeated the Houston Texans 21-14. New York got a rushing touchdown from quarterback Zach Wilson and another from running back Andrew Walter in his first action of the season. Their defense feasted on Houston’s offensive line, getting five sacks and a John Franklin-Myers tipped pass that he brought in for an interception.
Week 13 AFC East matchups:
Miami Dolphins (5-7) vs. New York Giants (4-7)
New York Jets (3-8) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (5-7)
New England Patriots (8-4) vs. Buffalo Bills (7-4)
