The Patriots loss to the Colts could prove more costly than just a loss to their record with the AFC east becomming more and more competitive.
Two of the teams won including a New York Jets victory over divisional rivals the Buffalo Bills. With the Miami Dolphins also picking up a valuable and unexpected win against the Denver Broncos, New England's loss puts the playoffs in doubt.
Miami cornerback Will Allen set the tone in the game when he returned an interception 32 yards in the first quarter for a touchdown. The Broncos returned fire with two TD passes during the game which were cancelled out by a 2 yard Ronnie Brown run. Four field goals from Dan Carpenter was too much for the Broncos.
Jets QB Brett Farve picked up his first win in Buffalo and the Jets. An interception return for the Jets in the first quarter put them into the lead. Farve didn't have the best game of his elustriuos career a valuable win will more than make up for that. A 7 yard Thomas Jones run in the third quarter put the game beyond the Bills despite a fourth quarter score.

New England currently sit at 5-3, which is more defeats than in the previous two seasons. The AFC East is not a partially strong division and they should have no problems topping the group. I see the Jet’s and Bill’s being around 500 or slight above. Miami’s wildcat formation has been cracked putting them below the 500 mark. There is no chance the Pats won’t make the playoffs but without Tom Brady quarterbacking the AFC championship game is way out of reach.
