In a game between Rex Ryan's old team and Rex Ryan's new team, it's no surprise that the biggest winner on Thursday night was Rex Ryan.Not only did the former coach get revenge on his old team thanks to a 22-17 win at MetLife Stadium, but he did it in the most Rex Ryan way po sible: By riding his defense.The latest from SportsLineThe won a good old-fashioned slugfest against the Jets thanks to a defense that forced four turnovers. Actually, the defense only forced three of them because fourth came on a huge special teams play in the first half that changed the game.Over a nine-second span in the second quarter, the Bills scored nine points to turn a 3-0 deficit into a 9-3 lead. The wild sequence started when was intercepted by . Three plays after the Graham interception, the Bills were forced to kick a 47-yard field goal. The kick went through the uprights with 5:47 left in the second quarter, then things got wild on the ensuing kickoff. fielded the kick for the Jets, but he couldn't hold on to it and he fumbled before he was tackled. Jesperi Kotkaniemi Kids Jersey Buffalo's then scooped up the ball and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown. By the middle of the third quarter, the Bills pushed their lead to 22-3 and it looked like Ryan was going to be able to relax. That didn't happen, though, because the Jets clawed back with two Fitzpatrick touchdown pa ses in the second half that cut Buffalo's lead to 22-17. That's when Ryan got exactly what he probably dreamed about all week: A fourth-quarter showdown between his defense and the opposing offense in a winner-take-all-battle.The showdown happened because Bills punter fumbled a snap deep in Buffalo territory with just over five minutes left in the game. The Jets recovered the ball at the Bills' 13-yard line and at that point, all that stood between the Jets and a win over their old coach was 13 yards.Ryan's defense didn't break though. The Bills limited the Jets to six yards on four plays and kept New York out of the end zone.

"You guys (media) made this game about me," Ryan said after the game. "It was never about me."WHATEVER REX! Ryan was fired by the Jets back in December 2014 after six seasons with the team and you have to think, he loved the fact that the media focused on him this week. More importantly though, Ryan loved that the win put the Bills (5-4) in a better position to get to the playoffs."We knew it was going to be Ken Dryden Men Jersey a slugfest," Ryan said. "Wouldn't be surprised if that game decides who goes to the playoffs."Ryan might be right.

Here's nine more things to know about Buffalo's win over New York. was making people look silly. Earlier this week, it looked like there was a chance McCoy wasn't going to play on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. It's a good thing he did play though because the Bills probably wouldn't have won without him.McCoy ran for 112 yards against the Jets and averaged 5.89 yards per carry, but don't let those numbers fool you, he also did damage on shorter runs. Take this play for example. On a third-and-2 with just under two minutes left in the first half, McCoy was left for dead about 10-yards behind the Bills line of scrimmage, but still managed to get the first down.3rd & 2. Jets sniff out the run. 1 stiff-arm + 2 jump-cuts later? Doesn't matter. Because.. Shady McCoy. NFL (@NFL) It was a big first down too, because the Bills ended up driving deep into Jets territory and getting a field goal just before halftime that gave them a 12-3 lead.There was also some vintage McCoy, you know, the guy who can turn what looks like a 3-yard gain into a 12-yard gain by juking people out of their pants. There aren't many RBs that can jump-cut while moving north/south like does.. NFL (@NFL) McCoy's 112-yards tied a season-high. The Bills running back also hit that total in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the on Sunday. makes history. Although Williams was bottled up for the most part Paul Byron Women Jersey against the Jets, he did make one big play on Thursday and that play allowed him to make history.

The score means that Williams has now reached the end zone in the first six games of his career, which ties an NFL record.A historic TD for Karlos Williams as he joins Robert Edwards as only players with TD in each of first 6 games. NFLonCBS (@NFLonCBS) Overall, Williams finished with 50 total yards in the game (26 yards receiving, 24 rush). Bills had a case of the dropsies. The Bills could have blown this game open in the first quarter if linebacker had been able to hold on to a pa s that was thrown right to him by Ryan Fitzpatrick. The ball hit Lawson right in the hands and if he would've caught it, it would've been the easiest pick-6 of his life.Lawson shouldn't feel too horrible though because he's on defense and it's not his job to catch the ball. However, it is ' job to catch the ball and he had a big drop in the game also. On a third-and-5 from the Jets' 29, Taylor threw a pa s that hit Watkins right in the hands.However, Watkins somehow managed to drop that pa s and the Bills were forced to kick a field goal.Lawson and Watkins both had big drops, but no drop was bigger than the one by Bills punter Colton Schmidt that almost cost his team the game in the fourth quarter. With the Bills clinging to a 22-17 lead late in the fourth quarter, Schmidt headed out to punt from his own 29-yard line. However, Schmidt never got Patrick Roy Women Jersey the punt off because he fumbled the snap and then the Jets mauled him.The good news for Schmidt is that the Bills defense held the Jets to zero points, even though New York took over on Buffalo's 13-yard line.Fitzpatrick is the smartest guy in the Ivy League. Ryan Fitzpatrick might not be the best quarterback in the NFL, but he's the best quarterback in the NFL who went to an Ivy League school.
