Yes, I put it up there. Right on the headline. The Miami Dolphins were the only team to lose this week from the AFC East. You know what, there are times when Dolphins fans have celebrated the perfect AFC East week - you know, the week when the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills all lose? Well, this week was exactly the opposite - but it's still just one loss. Does anyone really expect a team to go undefeated? Miami just needs to win during the weeks when those teams lose, and they are right back in the Division catbird's seat.
I thought it would be interesting each week to just do a quick recap of the other AFC East teams, just so we can all keep an eye on the competition, and where we stand. I know most of us will know which teams won, and which teams lost, but this will be a quick summary of everything that happened with the other teams, all in one place.
With that, let's look at each of the other AFC East teams from this past week:
Buffalo Bills - The Bills came out and decimated the Kansas City Chiefs, in Arrowhead Stadium, this past week. Although they have gotten better since last season, no one expected them to finish Week 1 with the best Total QBR ranked quarterback. Buffalo 41 - Kansas City 7
New England Patriots - We all know what the Patriots did this week.Tom Brady set a new personal best with 517 yards passing, while he and Chad Henne combined for a new NFL record of 933 yards passing, with the Patriots and Dolphins having 903 yards passing (30 yards in sacks), also an NFL record. New England 38 - Miami 24.
New York Jets - The Jets continue to demonstrate why they are the luckiest team ever fielded. I don't understand how this team keeps having things like the comeback, and the interception straight to Darrelle Revis, and the blocked punt, and...well, you get the idea. This team is put away by the Cowboys, only to storm back and win it. All while Mark Sanchez had the fourth worst Total QBR ranked game from Week 1. Dallas 24 - NY Jets 27.
