It was an eventful day in the AFC East: the New England Patriots delivered a statement blowout, the Miami Dolphins suffered another crushing loss, the New York Jets ground out a defensive win, and the Buffalo Bills continued preparations for Monday night.
Patriots: statement win, concern at left tackle
The Patriots (3-2) steamrolled the Las Vegas Raiders 45-17, their most dominant outing of the season. According to CBS Sports, New England earned an A+ for its Week 5 performance, sharing top marks on Sunday with the Green Bay Packers.
The victory came with a caveat. Pro Football Rumors reports that left tackle Will Campbell could miss time with a possible knee sprain. The outlet notes that first-round rookie Caleb Lomu, a former left tackle at Utah drafted near the end of Round 1, may be asked to slide into that spot, while 35-year-old veteran Morgan Moses stays on the right side.
Dolphins: late heartbreak and an 0-5 start
The Dolphins (0-5) lost 31-24 at home to the Cincinnati Bengals. As CBS Sports describes it, a late Miami touchdown set up a dramatic finish, only for kicker Riley Patterson to clang the extra point off the upright, locking in the 31-24 final and creating a painful "bad beat" scenario for some bettors.
Several CBS Sports headlines around this matchup highlighted betting angles and prediction-market promos tied to Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ visit to Miami, underscoring how much attention the game drew in the wagering world despite the Dolphins’ rough start.
Jets edge Browns, Bills awaiting shorthanded Rams
The New York Jets (2-3) eked out a 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns in a low-scoring contest that turned into a defensive slog, with just 29 total points scored.
The Buffalo Bills (3-1) were idle ahead of their Monday night showdown with the Los Angeles Rams. Looking toward that game, Pro Football Rumors notes that star edge rusher Myles Garrett, a headline trade acquisition for the Rams, will miss his fourth straight contest. He remains on injured reserve following arthroscopic knee surgery, and while he will be eligible to return to practice after the Bills game, the Rams are unlikely to open his practice window as soon as Week 6, according to the same outlet.
