We mentioned at the outset of Week 3 that the Bills game was a big one for the Patriots. We told you why. And ugly as it might have been, the Patriots took care of business.

The Dolphins did the same in Week 1 against Buffalo.

Today, it's the Jets' turn. As our pal Rich Cimini points out, New York has a history of falling asleep at the switch for these Bills games, and there's a pretty decent chance that something in the division -- who wins the East, or maybe who does/doesn't go to the playoffs -- is determined by who slips up playing Buffalo.

Throwing another log on this fire ... It's raining at the Ralph today. So keep an eye on that one.

Outside of that, pretty good slate today. Pittsburgh-Baltimore, a rivalry that feels like it's being held in a dark place, is always a streetfight, and Donovan McNabb's return to Philly is plenty compelling. Enjoy the games.
