The AFC East race is still as tight as ever after a tough week 9. The Patriots handled the Broncos, Buffalo was destroyed by New Orleans and the Dolphins were embarrasseded by the Panthers.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills came off their bad loss to the Jets, with an atrocious performance against the Saints. LeSean McCoy only ran for 49 yards on 8 carries enabling the Saints to pick up a 47-10 win. Buffalo sits at 5-4 an is quickly losing ground to division leading New England.
A Look Ahead
Next up for Buffalo is an battle with the up and down Chargers. This will be a good chance for the Bills to pick up a much needed victory for first time starter Nathan Peterman. As it stands the Bills are a 4 point under dog.

Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins were mauled by the Carolina Panthers. The offensive struggled and was hampered by even worse defensive play. Kiko Alonso and the Phins defense gave up big play after big play which led to the 45-21 final score.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Dolphins take on the struggling Bucs in a game the Phinss need to win desperately. If Miami loses again they mave have to start thinking about making some changes. As it stands Miami is a 1 point favorite.

New York Jets
The Jets lost a tough one to Tampa Bay, losing by just 5 points. Austin Seferian-Jenkins had a solid game this week with 6 catches, but it wasnt enough. With this win the Jets are now even further behind the Bills and Phins in the AFC East at 4-6. They seem to be getting comfortable in the division cellar.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Jets are on the bye and will look to get refocused. New York has lost 3 of its last 4 and are in desperate need of a W. After the bye the Jets take on the Panthers and their season pretty much hangs in the balance.

New England Patriots
This week the Patriots beat down the struggling Broncos. New England put up 41 points on a beleaguered defense that has given up 91 points in the last two weeks. Tom Brady was impressive as usual and picked apart Denver.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Patriots will be taking on the Raiders. The Patriots will be looking to pick up from where they left off against Denver. New England should win this game pretty handedly, evident by the fact they are an early 6.5 point favorite.
