Bills 38, Jets 3: Kyle Orton passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns and Manny Lawson recovered a blocked punt in the end zone as Buffalo demolished New York at Ford Field in Detroit.

In a game that originally was scheduled for Sunday in Buffalo before seven feet of snow engulfed the region, the Bills showed no ill-effects from the location switch as they sacked Jets quarterbacks seven times and limited New York to 218 total yards. Robert Woods set career highs with nine catches for 118 yards for the Bills (6-5), who have defeated the Jets twice this season by a combined 55 points while posting their other four wins by a combined 26 points.

Michael Vick went 7-of-19 for 76 yards with an interception before getting benched in favor of Geno Smith, who was 10-of-12 for 89 yards without a turnover. Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory combined for 71 yards on 14 carries while Jeremy Kerley supplied 66 receiving yards for the Jets (2-9), who fell to 0-5 on the road

Woods' 7-yard TD catch from Orton opened the scoring midway through the first quarter, and the Jets were still within 7-3 until Orton found tight end Scott Chandler for a 19-yard score with 43 seconds left in the first half. Dan Carpenter's 53-yard field goal ignited a dominant third quarter for the Bills, who made it 24-3 less than two minutes later when Dixon blasted through the left side of the line and smothered the punt, and Lawson jumped on it for a touchdown.

Fred Jackson scored from 5 yards out after a Vick interception and Dixon put the exclamation point on the victory with a 30-yard TD run with six minutes left in the contest. Dixon had a team-high 54 yards on 12 carries for Buffalo, while Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes contributed two sacks apiece to help snap the Bills' two-game skid.

GAME NOTEBOOK: This was the second win at Ford Field for the Bills this season, as they also knocked off the Lions 17-14 on Oct. 5. ... The Jets, who host the Dolphins next week, will become just the fourth team in NFL history to play on back-to-back Monday nights. ... Woods' previous career highs were seven catches against New England last month and 80 yards against Jacksonville in December of last year.
