There will be those that continue to doubt the staying power of a Seahawks team that was its own worst enemy for so long a period, one that seemed to take two steps back every time it put its best foot forward.

Detroit, though, could have a full head of steam, as it is coming off its first win of the season, a 20-17 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Lions lead the all-time series with the Jets, 6-4, but were 31-14 losers when the teams last met, at Ford Field in 2002. Detroit had won the previous meeting, claiming a 10-7 triumph at Giants Stadium in 2000. |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Chris Kelsay rejected the notion that the Buffalo Bills are regressing. Then again, the defensive end wouldn't exactly call it progress. ``It's just that something's not there. Something's not quite fitting,'' Kelsay said Monday. Whichever direction the Bills (2-4) are heading, what's clear is how wildly inconsistent they've been in losing their past two games after getting off to a better-than-anticipated 2-2 start.
