Jets Crush Bills Hopes!!

Orchard Park, NY - Buffalo's skid hit 4 games yesterday, all without Bledsoe, as the Jets defeated the Bills, 20-3. At one point the Bills were sitting at 5-4 and in the playoff hunt. Bledsoe, although not brilliant, posted an 80.3 quarterback rating, but more importantly was the leader of a team that has played many close games throughout the season.
Bledsoe was injured during the Bills victory over the Cowboys. Despite the fact that Bledsoe had suffered a stress fracture in his leg, he continued on to get the Bills over .500. Now Buffalo can begin to think about next season along with the Jets.
The Jets are a team that are finding themselves late in the season. Head Coach Ed McGregor stated that he is starting to see some of the things that he had hoped to see earlier in the season.
The Jets are thriving under veteran quarterback, Vinny Testaverde, who is second in the league in passing behind New York Giants' Kerry Collins. Testaverde says that he feels he is having a lot of success right now because he was able to be an observer from the sidelines to watch as the Jets learned their new offense. Pennington, although disappointed, feels he has learned a lot and is making strides while practicing with the first unit.
The Jets schedule down the stretch will be a true test with first place Pittsburgh, Miami and New England. The three remaining opponents post a combined 27-12 record. There has not been any indication as to whether Pennington will get the nod or not in one of the remaining games. But many speculate that the staff wants to get a look at Pennington to see where his progress is at.
