AFC rivals had a mix of movements throughout the rankings. Was it that one where he flat out burned Darelle Revis for a 66 yard Touchdown or that one at the end of the game to put Bengals in Field Goal range and win the game for his team.

Stat of the weekTyrod Taylor has won his last four starts at home with a 109.3 passer rating and six total touchdowns (4 passing, 2 rushing).
Neither do the Bills. “We’ve moved on. I said I wasn’t going to talk about it, and I’m keeping to my word”.
But for most of his 10 seasons, Revis has been nearly automatic when it comes to keeping other teams’ top receivers off the stats sheet and out of the end zone.
Andy Dalton had no time to throw the ball and no running game to blunt some of the Jets’ pass rush. No matter how many times he got hit, he didn’t get rattled.
“We’ve got to do a better job of executing”, said Fitzpatrick.
But this is an unusual situation for Revis, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection who is being picked apart by analysts and fans. “Our quarterback will not make it through the season if we give up seven sacks a week”.

In prime time, “Revis Island” will have to prove he can contain Bills speedster Sammy Watkins.
“Overall, as a team, we weren’t very good”, Bowles said.
“We need to take advantage of those red zone opportunities … that’s what hurt us most”, Fitzpatrick said.
Green’s monster game – 12 catches for 180 yards and one touchdown – lifted the Bengals to a 23-22 win over Revis and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Despite the Jets defense picking up the pace in the latter half of the game, the Bengals still managed to gain much needed yards, and were beating the Jets on the sidelines. This was the Jets’ early-down game plan.
Sure, they were terrible in the red zone. Poor execution. Something we pride ourselves in. Didn’t get it done. Folk, however, missed the first extra point of his career. Later in the game, Folk missed an extra point following the Eric Decker touchdown.
“You just have to move on to the next kick”, Folk said.
The field goal team scrambled on to the field, lined up and snapped the ball with one second on the clock even though an official slipped and fell to the left of holder Kevin Huber.
