Bills still leading AFC East – AFC East roundup

It was a quiet day on the field in the AFC East, but the division picture is becoming clearer. With no teams in action yesterday, the standings are frozen for at least another day.

Bills in control, Patriots in pursuit

The Buffalo Bills remain firmly in control of the division at 5-1. With no game on the schedule yesterday, their hold on first place is unchanged as they continue to set the pace in the AFC East.

Chasing them are the New England Patriots at 4-3. They also had the day off, which keeps the current gap behind Buffalo intact. The Patriots are still within striking distance if the Bills stumble over the coming weeks, but for now the hierarchy at the top is stable.

Dolphins, Jets quietly adjust ahead of Week 7

At the bottom of the standings, the Miami Dolphins sit at 0-5. According to Pro Football Rumors, Miami was among the clubs making minor roster moves and standard gameday practice squad elevations ahead of the Sunday slate of Week 7 games. The headline does not specify which players were involved, but it signals a team searching for answers.

The New York Jets, currently 2-4, were also listed by Pro Football Rumors among the teams tweaking their rosters before Week 7. Again, no details are given on the exact nature of the transactions, only that the Jets were part of that round of minor adjustments as they look to climb back into the mix.

A stratified division for now

With the Bills at 5-1, the Patriots at 4-3, the Jets at 2-4 and the Dolphins at 0-5, the AFC East is sharply tiered at the moment. A day without games means no immediate shake-up, but the behind-the-scenes moves reported by Pro Football Rumors in Miami and New York suggest the lower half of the division is not standing pat.
