With a win on Sunday over Washington and a Pats loss, Buffalo drew even with Bill Belichick & Co. atop the division standings.
The Bills are currently unbeaten at home (4-0) and against their division (1-0). On the other hand, the Jets come in following a bye week and looking for their first road win of the 2011 season (0-3). Rex Ryan is 1-1 in intradivisional games thus far. There are many great matchups in Week 9, all of which could have a significant impact on the playoff picture.
