New England Patriots Go 3-0 During the Bye Week

It was a fruitful bye week for the New England Patriots as they picked up an extra game on their division rivals in the AFC East and got a gift from the New York Jets. The Miami Dolphins went into Detroit and lost 20-16 losing a lead late in the game in heartbreaking fashion. The Buffalo Bills hosted the Kansas City Chiefs and took a 13-3 lead into the fourth quarter before falling 17-13. Finally, after conference rival Pittsburgh emerged as a legitimate challenger for the AFC crown the past few weeks, Jets head coach Rex Ryan dialed-up a game plan that showed how to shut down Ben Roethlisberger and the potent Steelers passing attack.
