TORONTO (AP) -Buffalo\’s Rian Lindell and New York\’s Jay Feely traded field goals, and the Bills and Jets were tied 3-3 after the first quarter on Thursday night.
The Bills picked up where they left off on Sunday when they scored 24 unanswered points in the fourth quarter in their win over Miami, scoring on their opening drive when Lindell capped a 52-yard drive with a 49-yard field goal.
drive, Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick beat the Jets blitz and hit receiver Lee Evans down the right side for a 38-yard gain to help set up the field goal.
The Jets countered when Feely hit a 38-yard field goal with 3:39 remaining. New York drove to the Buffalo 11, but the drive stalled after quarterback Mark Sanchez was sacked by Kyle Williams for a 9-yard loss on third down.
Sanchez missed a wide-open Jerricho 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 Braylon Edwards at the Bills 30.
Edwards beat Buffalo 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.
