EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - J.P. Losman came on in relief of an injured Trent Edwards and connected with Lee Evans on an 85-yard touchdown pass with 3:38 remaining to lift Buffalo to a 13-3 win against the New York Jets.

With the Bills on the Jets 15 and leading 6-3, Losman threw a long pass to Evans down the right sideline. Rookie cornerback Darrelle Revis appeared to get his hands on the ball, but Evans wrestled it away and streaked down the sideline untouched for a touchdown.
Rian Lindell kicked two field goals, including a 40-yarder with 10:06 left that gave Buffalo a 6-3 lead. The Bills (3-4) have won three of their last four. New York (1-7) has lost five straight, a slump that started with a 17-14 defeat against the Bills. It's the Jets' worst start since opening the 1996 season 0-8 en route to a 1-15 finish under Rich Kotite.

Edwards left with 5:07 left in the third quarter with a sprained right wrist after he was hit on an incomplete pass.

'The X-rays came back negative,' Edwards said. 'We'll re-evaluate it today.'
