ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - C.J. Spiller scored on a 66-yard catch and run to lift underachieving Buffalo (6-10) over sputtering New York (6-10).

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who may have been starting his final game for New York, had two more turnovers.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes, and New England (12-4) earned a playoff bye with a shutout win over Miami.
