It’s been a while since the Jets were in this position: At 6-3, “Gang Green” is sitting in second place in the AFC East after handing Josh Allen and the Bills a stunning 20-17 loss in Week 9. As is custom among social media teams across the NFL these days, the trash talk extends from the field to the internet pretty regularly. That much was apparent following the game, with the Jets social media team putting together a trolling masterclass at the expense of Buffalo and NFL analysts....

New York is coming off of an impressive 40-17 win last week at home against Miami. The Jets received an outstanding performance from their young running backs, Michael Carter and Breece Hall. Carter, who is in his second year, only had 33 total yards on 12 touches but scored two rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, the rookie Hall posted a season-high 197 total yards and a TD on 20 touches. The Jets will hope their running game is ready for Sunday’s contest at Lambeau, as the Packers’ defense allows 126....

Matt Rosendale’s reaction to learning that 75 of them would be resettled in his state....

Jim Boeheim had a frontrow seat that year as Anthony averaged 22.2 points and 10.0 rebounds to become an All-American. Because of his intimate knowledge with the one-and-done process, Boeheim's take on this year's college freshmen caught attention. Several NBA teams are suspected of tanking their 2013-14 season to gain a high lottery pick and have their choice of this year's crop of freshmen, which includes Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon....

Whether you consider his performance a drama or a comedy — or both — likely depends on your NBA allegiance. Either way, it was spectacular. Butler tried out his acting chops while selling a flagrant foul with 4.8 seconds remaining in a 98-96 win. He certainly appeared to be in pain before slyly looking out from under his hands and hopping up nonchalantly when he knew he wasn’t getting the call....

The Colts are getting the brunt of the jokes, with a few of the Patriots tossed in there. The biggest surprise is that there’s no Tom Brady.
