That's what Jets are talking about!
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.
These were Rex Ryan's Jets as we have known them, and as they like to be known:
Ryan executing a leaping body bump with Santonio Holmes to celebrate a touchdown, then peppering his news conference with wisecracks, aimed at everything from his twin brother's weight to Dwight Stones to "Bad News Bears."
The offense grinding out long possessions -- three of at least 10 plays -- without needing a pass covering more than 24 yards, if you don't count a 42-yard pass-interference penalty.
And, most of all, the defense, Ryan's pride and joy, stifling what has been a productive Bills team at home until a meaningless garbage-time touchdown drive.
Stat of the day: Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's passer rating at halftime Sunday was 2.8 -- lower than his grade-point average at Harvard.
"I think it's the most complete game we've played,'' Jets linebacker Bart Scott said. "We never let them get that play to sway the momentum and get them back in the game.''
The Bills' final chance to do so was a fourth-and-1 attempt early in the fourth quarter in which Scott charged into the backfield and tripped up Fred Jackson. The rest of the period was a formality, and the Jets left with a 27-11 victory and a three-game winning streak that has made the three-game losing streak that preceded it seem long ago.
Time to celebrate! At least until today, when they begin to prepare for the next division showdown against the Patriots on Sunday night.
The Jets were far from perfect, managing only a 3-0 halftime lead despite dominating statistically. Their opening drive used 15 plays and 10:09 but ended when Mark Sanchez badly missed Dustin Keller in the end zone, finding the Bills' Jairus Byrd instead.
"I have to be better in the red zone," Sanchez said. "You can't throw picks like that . . . Bad throws happen, but they can't down there.''
Sanchez later fumbled away a shotgun snap, too. But the important thing was that he and his teammates did not allow that to derail them.
"Guys know I can battle and that I can play through adversity," Sanchez said.
Did we mention the defense was excellent, hitting hard and tackling with surety? The key? "Playing New York Jet defense," Ryan said.
Defensive tackle Sione Pouha called the unit's attitude "Jetstitude."
"We might not have DeMarcus Ware or Ed Reed or things like that, but we've been successful together,'' Scott said, referring to the star defenders for the Cowboys and Ravens.
Of course, the Jets have their own superstar in cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was beaten for a 52-yard reception by the Bills' Steve Johnson.
No, really! But no matter. It was a mere blip on a day when the Jets did their thing at last, consistently imposing their will, physically and otherwise. They emptied the stadium early on a day when the Bills wore all white at home for the first time since 1986 and asked their fans to do the same.
The Bills' next three games are on the road, concluding with a visit to MetLife Stadium on Nov. 27.
If the Jets continue down the path they followed Sunday, the three-game winning streak could easily be five the next time the Bills get a look at them.
Scott said the Jets didn't listen when journalists "were counting us out. Now you'll be saying 'the Jets are back,' and we won't listen to that, either.''
Suit yourself. But all evidence suggests that, yup, the Jets are back (for now).
"We have the winning formula,'' LaDainian Tomlinson said. "And if we do what we do, it's going to be tough to beat us.''
