There were no AFC East games on the schedule yesterday, but the division picture remains clear at the top: the Buffalo Bills lead at 4-1, followed by the New England Patriots at 3-2, the New York Jets at 2-3 and the Miami Dolphins still searching for a first win at 0-5. The day’s news centered on Josh Allen’s mindset and the loss of a Patriots great.
Buffalo Bills: Allen’s mindset under the microscope
La Presse focuses on Josh Allen and the way he handled Monday’s tense finish against the Los Angeles Rams. The outlet notes the Bills quarterback’s dejected expression and stunned look as the Rams offense marched down the field in overtime, using that sequence to illustrate where Allen stands mentally at this stage of his career.
According to La Presse, that overtime drive serves as a turning point of sorts, suggesting Allen is working through past issues even as he leads a 4-1 team that currently controls the AFC East. The contrast with the rest of the division is stark, particularly with the Dolphins sitting at 0-5.
CBS Sports, meanwhile, reports that Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb revealed what he said to Alaric Jackson in the aftermath of Monday night’s win, comments that preceded Jackson’s punch and subsequent suspension. While the exact words are not detailed, CBS Sports notes that Chubb acknowledged engaging in trash talk after the game.
New England Patriots: Remembering Jon Morris
In New England, the story of the day is about franchise history more than current standings. Pro Football Rumors relays the Patriots’ announcement that former center Jon Morris has died at age 84. Morris, drafted by the Boston Patriots in 1964, immediately stepped in as a full-time starter and cornerstone on the offensive line across 11 seasons, earning AFL All-Star recognition.
With the Patriots at 3-2 and the Jets at 2-3, the race behind Buffalo remains open, but yesterday was defined more by reflection: on Allen’s resilience in Buffalo and on the legacy of a foundational Patriot in Jon Morris.
