injury update
The New York Jets defense recorded two sacks and no takeaways in Sunday's 31-17 home loss to the Denver Broncos.
Analysis: The Jets did a respectable job against Peyton Manning, holding him to 7.2 yards per pass attempt, albeit with three touchdowns and a 66.7 completion percentage. The Broncos also had 138 yards on 33 carries, accumulating 358 total yards on the day. While not a bad performance once the opponent is accounted for, this still can't be viewed as encouraging, given that the New York offense continues to look awful. The defense will likely be put in tricky spots all season long, which will make it hard to keep points off the board, much less pile up takeaways and sacks. Making matters worse, the Jets suffered a huge injury blow during Sunday's game, losing top cornerback Dee Milliner to a suspected torn Achilles' tendon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Such an injury is the last thing a weak secondary needs heading into a Week 7 Thursday Night Football road game against the hot New England Patriots offense

The New England Patriots defense recorded five sacks and three takeaways in Sunday's 37-22 road win over the Buffalo Bills.
Analysis: While the New England offense again led the way, the defense turned in a solid outing for the second week in a row, following a Week 4 trouncing at the hands of Jamaal Charles and the Kansas City Chiefs. With the entire team seemingly back on track, the Patriots defense should fare well in a Week 7 Thursday Night Football home game against the struggling New York Jets. However, the Patriots may be without linebackers Dont'a Hightower (knee) and Jerod Mayo (knee), the latter of whom was carted off the field during the second quarter of Sunday's game, ESPN.com reports. Hightower was inactive Sunday but hasn't been ruled out for Thursday
