Edwards was originally ruled down at the Buffalo 1, but was awarded the touchdown after the play was reviewed.
The score capped an 86-yard drive keyed a 45-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery down the right side of the field.
Sanchez connected on 6 of 13 passes for 107 yards in the first half. Thomas Jones had 58 yards rushing on 10 carries.
After New York\’s Jay Feely hit a 49-yard field goal early in the second, Buffalo responded on the next possession. Marshawn Lynch scampered in from 15 yards out to give the Bills a 10-6 lead with 10:25 to go. Lynch also had a 35-yard run on the drive.
Feely\’s field goal was set up when Jets linebacker David Harris stripped the ball away from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Bryan Thomas recovered it at the Bills 36.
Feely kicked three field goals in the half, and Jones topped the 1,000-yard mark for the fifth straight season on a 12-yard gain midway through the second quarter.
Lynch gained 58 yards on five carries, and Fitzpatrick was 6 of 11 for 70 yards in the half.

The Jets countered with Feely\’s 38-yard kick with 3:39 remaining. New York drove to the Buffalo 11, but the drive stalled after Sanchez was sacked by Kyle Williams for a 9-yard loss on third down. Sanchez missed a wide-open Cotchery in the end zone when he badly overthrew the receiver on the previous play.
The Jets missed an opportunity late in the quarter to take the lead, but Sanchez\’s pass on a deep route went off the fingertips of a wide-open Edwards at the Bills 30.
Edwards beat cornerback Reggie Corner on the play, and had a sure touchdown had he held onto the ball.
This is the third of eight Bills games that will be held in Toronto during a five-year period through 2012, and the second regular-season game. Buffalo lost to Miami 16-3 last year.
The Bills are looking to sweep the season series with the Jets for the first time since 2007.
