New York Jets at New Orleans
Just as I suspected, the Jets offense and the Saints offense would have a stalemate, while the New Orleans defense is ahead of New York's offense. The proof is in the numbers, as the Saints were +3 in the turnover battle, had four sacks, and held the Jets to 100 fewer yards.
Buffalo at Miami
I was surprised not that Miami won the game with a quarterback making his first NFL start, but by how they dominated Buffalo. They gained 130 additional yards, were 80% on the red zone conversions, while holding the Bills to 33%, and were +3 in turnover differential. Plus, they held the ball for 14 additional minutes. That's a recipe to win games.
Dallas at Denver
This was a tight game, and the stats bear that out. Both quarterbacks took at least three sacks and about 20 yard difference in total yards. Denver took 3 additional penalties, while Dallas held the ball for six more minutes. The difference in this game was red zone conversions. Dallas was 33%, while Denver was 50%. In games that close, converting red zone chances into touchdowns is paramount.
