It was a big week for the AFC East even though it was only Week 2 of the regular season. Down in South Beach, the Miami Dolphins were trying to build a 2.5-game cushion over the defending division champion Buffalo Bills in a highly anticipated matchup. In New Jersey, it was the New York Jets battling the New England Patriots with both teams trying to avoid an 0-2 start to their season. Both divisional matchups had very similar narratives headlined by dominating defensive performances with two poor offensive showings.
The Bills’ defense came to play after a disappointing result in Week 1 by shutting out the Dolphins 35-0.
