The Bills had the week off, but the rest of the AFC West is looking to keep nipping at their heels. The division closes out the Week 7 slate with the Patriots hosting the Bears on Monday Night Football, but ahead of that, the Jets and Dolphins both won on Sunday.
The Jets struggled against a Broncos squad missing Russell Wilson. And yet, they still managed to do just enough to get out of Denver with a win. They won 16-9, but the bigger issue was Breece Hall’s knee injury. Head coach Robert Saleh said the team fears it is an ACL tear, which would cost him the rest of the season.
The Dolphins closed out Sunday with a close win over the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Tua Tagovailoa made his return, but this game was more about the Dolphins defense picking off Kenny Pickett three times in the win.
