Here are the most interesting stories Saturday in the AFC East: Morning take: I haven’t seen many who like the Jets in this one. Anything can happen in a rivalry game, but the Jets must play near-perfect football.
Morning take: Yes, this is the time to return to the running game. The Jets have been surprisingly bad at stuffing the run. An up-tempo offense at home should get the Patriots’ ground game going again.
Morning take: Buffalo has run well this season, particularly with tailback C.J. Spiller. The Titans are susceptible to the run and are on the road. Not a good combo for Tennessee.
Morning take: This is a big matchup and Miami gets two weeks to prepare for it. A victory earns the Dolphins a season split.
