Loading ...The Buffalo Bills moved up a few spots in the 2013 NFL Draft by beating the New York Jets on Sunday, 28-9.
The win was Buffalo's largest of the season. Buffalo actually briefly trailed in the second quarter, 9-7, before scoring three touchdowns to put the game away.
The first Bills' points came thanks to Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who threw an interception to Bryan Scott that was returned 20 yards for a touchdown. The Jets kicked two second-quarter field goals, but C.J. Spiller took a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass 66 yards for a touchdown late in the half to give Buffalo a 14-9 lead.
Both teams languished in the third quarter before two late scored capped the season for Buffalo. Brad Smith scored on a four-yard run out of the Wildcat formation early in the fourth quarter, and Tashard Choice added six points on a 13-yard run in the final 70 seconds.
Stevie Johnson finished with 111 yards on six catches for his third 100-yard game in the last six. Spiller got a season-high 24 carries but managed only 59 rushing yards. Fitzpatrick finished a very Fitz-like 12-of-26 for 225 yards and the one touchdown.
The win moved the Bills up in the draft order from sixth to eighth. Here is the top 10 draft order; strength of opponent schedule is the draft tiebreaker.
