From the Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- J.P. Losman came on in relief of injured Trent Edwards and connected with Lee Evans on an 85-yard touchdown pass play with 3 minutes 38 seconds remaining to help lead the Buffalo Bills to a 13-3 victory over the New York Jets.

With the Bills on the Jets’ 15-yard line and leading 6-3, Losman threw a long pass to Evans down the right sideline. Rookie cornerback Darrelle Revis appeared to get his hands on the ball, but Evans wrestled it away and streaked down the sideline untouched for a touchdown. The touchdown was the most exciting play of a lackluster game.

Rian Lindell kicked two field goals, including a 40-yarder with 10:06 left that gave Buffalo a 6-3 lead. The Bills (3-4) have won three of their last four.

New York (1-7) has lost five straight. It’s the Jets’ worst start since opening the 1996 season 0-8 en route to a 1-15 finish under Rich Kotite. New York last started 1-7 in 1989, when it went 4-12 under Joe Walton.

Edwards left in the third quarter with what appeared to be a sprained right wrist.

Quoteworthy: “They had a great game plan and really stuck it to us.” -- Chad Pennington, Jets quarterback
