Every Monday and Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the AFC East Notebook.

Buffalo Bills

Bills game moved to Monday night in Detroit. After getting covered in mountains of snow this week, the NFL has rescheduled the Bills' game against the New York Jets to Monday night in Detroit.

Ralph Wilson Stadium buried. After attempting to start the clearing effort at Ralph Wilson Stadium, more than five feet of snow fell Thursday morning, blanketing the Ralph.

Bills' theoretical injury list full of starters. Fred Jackson, Kyle Orton and Kraig Urbik would have been limited participants had the Bills been able to practice this week.

Miami Dolphins

Charles Clay a game-time decision. The starting tight end who has been dealing with a hamstring injury will be a game-time decision against the Denver Broncos.

No rift between Tannehill and Lazor. After reports surfaced last week that offensive coordinator Bill Lazor was abrasive and rubbing some players the wrong way, Ryan Tannehill dispelled the rumors.

New alternate jerseys coming for Dolphins? Although we can't yet see them, the Dolphins will be unveiling new alternate jerseys for the 2015 season.

New England Patriots

Jonas "Supreme" Gray's nickname origin. Tight end Tim Graham came up with the nickname after seeing that Gray has a huge back. That would make him the "Supreme Back."

LeGarrette Blount back in New England. The former Patriot was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers and signed with New England after clearing waivers. His teammates welcomed him back with open arms.

Darrelle Revis calls Megatron a man among boys. The veteran cornerback has openly praised Calvin Johnson ahead of their showdown Sunday, calling him freakish and saying the defense has a ton of respect for him.

New York Jets

In three weeks, the Jets have improved. Rex Ryan praised his team's play since an embarrassing 43-23 loss to the Bills. He claims the Jets have improved "in a zillion ways, almost every way."

Jets-Bills in Motown great news for New York. Playing at a neutral site is a huge positive for a Jets team that could use more good news. They lose a true road game and are 4-1 in domed stadiums under Rex Ryan.

Vick appreciates being a starter. After serving as a backup, the quarterback is grateful to have another crack at starting with the Jets.
