The New York Jets were in dire need of a clutch performance to regain their momentum in the playoff race in Week 12. They got it from an unlikely source - their offensive line. The Jets graded out at a season-high 102.5 in this week's New York Life Protection Index, as the line came up big in a much-needed 28-24 come-from-behind victory over Buffalo on Sunday.

IRVING, Texas - The Dallas Cowboys' two biggest areas of concern going into the opener — cornerback and offensive line — just became more of a problem.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Dwight Lowery is gone, Aaron Maybin is staying and the New York Jets added some much-needed depth to their offensive line.
