NEW YORK: The Jets wound up going off as a 1-point home favorite last Sunday so they failed to cover when they lost 23-22 in the final seconds against the Bengals. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 19-of-35 passes for just 189 yards and an interception, but threw touchdown passes to Quincy Enunwa and Eric Decker. Newcomer Matt Forte played well in his Jets debut, rushing 22 times for 96 yards in the loss.

BUFFALO: The Bills also failed to cover in a 13-7 loss against the Ravens in Baltimore. Rex Ryan’s squad was a 3-point underdog at kickoff and managed a lone LeSean McCoy touchdown in the second quarter. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor did next to nothing, completing 15-of-22 passes for 111 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
