DETROIT - Buffalo coach Doug Marrone outlined some of the obstacles his team was facing while trying to prepare for its next game, which was moved to Detroit because of all the snow in western New York.The Bills are missing out on a home game and had to travel to Michigan just to practice, but there is one factor that might make all this a bit easier: Theyre facing the New York Jets — a division rival they were already plenty familiar with.Yeah, Im not going to lie, Marrone said. Obviously, that helps a little bit.The Bills are still at a disadvantage heading into Monday nights game, having missed valuable practice time before finally arriving in the Detroit area Friday. But Buffalo and the Jets have already faced each other this year, and not too long ago at that. The Bills beat New York 43-23 on Oct. 26.So Buffalo (5-5) has a sense of what to expect — more so than if this were a game against a team from a different conference, for example. The Bills are also familiar with Ford Field, where they beat the Detroit Lions in early October.It helps us that weve been here before, Marrone said. Weve played here, we know what shoes to wear, what the surface is like, what the sidelines are like. So, that familiarity obviously helps.The seasons first Bills-Jets game was noteworthy because that was when Michael Vick took over at quarterback for New York. After Geno Smith threw interceptions on three consecutive possessions, Vick helped the Jets rally before his outing was undone by an interception and two lost fumbles.Vick is now New Yorks starter. Jets coach Rex Ryan says there are a zillion ways his team has improved since the first meeting with the Bills.Almost every way, he said. We do a better job of communicating in the back end, much better in the red zone and it starts with communication down there. Were a better tackling team than we showed. And then obviously, we have to take care of the football a heck of a lot better and we will.The earlier matchup with Buffalo was Percy Harvins first game for the Jets. He says he has become more comfortable with the offence since, and he already seems to have good chemistry with Vick.I think Percys getting better each and every week, Vick said. Each and every week, hes learning more and more and continues to get better and better and more confident. Im glad that guy is on my team. I really enjoy playing with him.The Jets (2-8) clearly caught a bit of a break when the game was moved. Instead of playing a true road game at Buffalo, theyll take the field in Detroit in front of fans who were offered free tickets to the game. Nobody is quite sure what to expect. The Lions dont have any real rivalry with either team, although there is some lingering animosity in Detroit — among fans at least — toward the Bills after their victory in Motown earlier this season.Buffalo defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz — who was Detroits coach before being fired after last season — was carried off the field after that victory.Bills president Russ Brandon said he has heard over 67,000 tickets have been distributed.Were working with the Lions and theres going to be preferred seating between the 20s for any Bills fans that come over from Buffalo that have a ticket to the game, Brandon said. Those individuals have the opportunity to sit behind our bench in that area and root us on.The Bills are still planning to return home for next weekends game against Cleveland, but first, theyll try to put aside all the logistical difficulties of the last few days and play a game against the Jets thats crucial to Buffalos playoff hopes.With what our communitys going through, right now we look at it as a three-hour opportunity to take peoples minds off of whats in front of them and what theyve been through and provide them with Buffalo Bills football, Brandon said. We expect to represent the Buffalo region and community in the appropriate manner.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys .Y. -- Sore nose and all, Sidney Crosby had a goal and three assists to help Pittsburgh beat Buffalo 5-3 on Friday night, snapping the Penguins mini-slump and slowing the Sabres late-season surge.

It almost worked. Derrick Favours had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Marvin Williams added 16 points and 11 rebounds, and the Jazz held off the depleted Kings 106-99 on Monday night. "If you build a lead like that then its easier when you have some lapses down the stretch. You have a little room for error," Utah forward Gordon Hayward said. Enes Kanter added 16 points and Jeremy Evans tied a career high with 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Jazz took advantage of injuries that have left Sacramento without frontcourt starters DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay for the past three games. "We had a size advantage so we wanted to mix up plays with the pick-and-rolls. I thought the two guys, Derrick and Enes, did a good job of getting in low position and made some good passes when they didnt have a chance to make a play for themselves," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. In addition to Cousins and Gay being out, Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas left in the third quarter with an illness. "Some of our guys were like, Oh boy, what are we going to do now? Now we have Isaiah, Rudy and DeMarcus all out. It was shellshock," Sacramento coach Mike Malone said. The Kings resorted to Plan B -- foul as much as possible -- and that shocked the Jazz. "Im going to do everything I can to extend the game and give us a chance to win. They were having their way with us, but we always try to identify certain guys who may be poor free throw shooters," Malone said. After the Jazz sent their starters to the bench with the game seemingly in hand, the Kings mounted an unlikely comeback that fell just short. Sacramento trimmed a 20-point lead to five in the final minute but came up empty on three of its final four possessions. "Whew, that was closer than it needed to be," Evans said. Jason Thompson scored a season-high 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Kings, who lost their fourth consecutive game. Derrick Williams had 17 points and 15 boards. The Jazz set an NBA season high with 53 free throw attempts. Utah went 12 for 25 at the line in the fourth quarter, allowing the Kings to make things interestiing.dddddddddddd Sacramento, whistled for 36 fouls, began hacking Utahs surprised reserves midway through the fourth quarter. "I wasnt expecting that at all. I feel a little disrespected. I missed some and that messed me up mentally," said Evans, who came into the game shooting 73 per cent from the line. The Jazz took control in the third with a 17-7 run that was capped by seven straight points from Marvin Williams. His free throws gave Utah an 81-67 lead with 1:36 left in the period. The Jazz stretched the lead to 20 as both teams played backups in the fourth quarter. The Kings started intentionally fouling big men Rudy Gobert and Evans, who were a combined 7 of 16 from the line. The scheme worked, and Ben McLemores three-point play brought the Kings to 104-99 with 31 seconds to play. John Lucas III made one of two free throws and Diante Garrett split a pair of foul shots to finally put the Kings away. "We really competed in the fourth quarter. Thats all you can do, especially when you have three starters out," Derrick Williams said. Cousins missed his third straight game with a sprained left ankle and Gay warmed up his strained left Achilles but felt he couldnt go and was scratched from the lineup just before the opening tip. Utah shot 40 per cent from the field but still moved ahead of the Kings in the standings. "Its a good feeling for us to move out of last place in the West. Its a step forward for us as a team," Hayward said. Thomas averaged 27.6 points over the previous five games but mustered only 10 on 4-of-13 shooting. He vomited at halftime and played just 8 minutes in the second half because of his stomach ailment. His streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer ended at 37, two short of Mitch Richmonds franchise record. NOTES: The Kings were given a delay of game warning for not getting to centre court for the opening tip in time. ... McLemore poked Evans in the eye as he drove to the hoop. Evans missed both free throws while squinting at the basket. ... Kings G Jimmer Fredette, who played at nearby BYU, received loud cheers when he scored and boos when he brought the ball up the court. He finished with eight points. ... Sacramento outscored the Jazz 52-38 in the paint despite the absence of Cousins and Gay.
