Live Blogging from Bills-Jets
10:06 left in the fourth quarter: Losman directs a drive that ends in a field goal by Rian Lindell. It's 6-3, but the way the Jets' offense is playing that might be enough to win.

2:50: Losman completed his first pass to Derek Schouman. Word from Bills PR is Edwards went to the locker room with a wrist injury. Losman just threw a pass that would have been picked off for a touchdown if it had been more accurate.
3:23 left in the third: Well, you figured it would happen sooner or later. Edwards is out and J.P. Losman is on the field with the offense. Just watch, he'll lead the Bills to victory and the quarterback controversy will ignite again in Buffalo.
5:57 left in the third: Edwards was being examined on the sideline for some kind of hand injury, but it looks like he's going back into the game. This game cried out for a big special teams play. Roscoe Parrish just obliged, returning a punt 31 yards to put the Bills back in business at the Jets' 44-yard line.

7:52 left in third quarter: Time to hit the caffeine. It's still 3-3 and there's no sign of this one getting any more compelling. The Bills put together three first downs on a drive that started from their own 10, but stalled when Edwards was sacked for the first time today. The Jets sent everyone but the equipment manager on the play. The Jets came out throwing for some reason, with predictably forgettable results.
Lynch is back. He suffered a hip injury.
-- Jerry Sullivan
Halftime: It's 3-3. Having fun yet? Keep the caffeine handy because this one has the makings of a real snooze fest. Lynch returned for the Bills' last drive after getting his hip checked out, but he didn't touch the ball. We'll monitor his condition as the game continues. But for now, I'm off to take some No-Doz so I can stay awake for this thriller.

5:58 left in the seconds: The defense bailed Edwards out by stopping the Jets. However, running back Marshawn Lynch has left the field. No word yet on any injury.

10:21 left in second quarter: Two long drives, two short field goals. At this rate we'll be done by dinner time.

7:58: Edwards gets hit as he throws and the ball is intercepted by Jets cornerback Darrell Revis. Jets are starting to get pressure on Edwards by blitzing more. We'll see how the rookie handles it the rest of the day.

End of first quarter:
Wow! If only Major League Baseball games went that swiftly. The first quarter ended at 4:28, which means it took only 23 minutes of actual time. The Jets marched down the field after getting the ball back and were at the Bills' 31 when the period ended. So there weren't even two full possessions. After three generally solid performances, the Bills' defense is struggling early.
-- Jerry Sullivan
4:53 left in first quarter: A pretty nice opening drive by the Bills, but you'd like to see more than a field goal after holding the ball for 10 minutes. I have to say, that wasn't a very inspired series that began at the Jets' 13. First down in the red zone is a great time to throw. But they ran Dwayne Wright for no gain.
