Brett Favre made some mistakes, but he did enough — and was helped by a solid running game — for the Jets to beat the Bills in a key divisional game on Sunday.

Referee Jeff Triplette was knocked face first into the turf and had his nose bloodied during Shaun Ellis’ fumble return for a touchdown in the New York Jets’ 31-27 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. “I’m good, I’m good,” Triplette told The Associated Press after the game, with both nostrils filled with gauze.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards sat out practice again Friday, making it unlikely that he will play in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

Defensive end Aaron Schobel was placed on injured reserve on Thursday because of a nagging left foot injury that has forced the Buffalo Bills’ top pass-rusher to miss most of the season. The team announced the move in a two-paragraph statement a day after coach Dick Jauron indicated the Bills were considering whether to end the player’s season.

By Monday morning, the yard lines and logos had been removed from the Rogers Centre turf and work crews began taking down the “Bills Toronto Series” signs and banners.

Edwards, listed as the Bills’ third quarterback, has been nursing a groin injury that sidelined him after the first half of a 10-3 loss to San Francisco last weekend.

Corey MacDonald was on the phone searching for tickets and making plans to travel to Toronto the minute the NFL schedule was announced last spring. As a lifelong Dolphins fan growing up in Nova Scotia, there was no way MacDonald was going to pass up an opportunity to be there on Sunday when Miami faces the Buffalo Bills in the first NFL regular-season game to be played in Canada.

With Bills starting quarterback Trent Edwards doubtful for Sunday’s game against Miami because of a groin injury, backup J.P. Losman is likely to return to a role he relishes. Losman would have the weight of Buffalo’s season squarely on his shoulders in his first start of the season, the team’s slim playoff hopes riding on the 2004 first-round pick once seen as the team’s savior but now reduced to…
