For the first time in 29 years, the New York Jets are American Football division champions. Vinny Testaverde completed 14 of 23 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns to lift the Jets past Buffalo 1710 on Saturday, denying the Bills a chance to seal a berth in the National Football League play-offs.

If the Jets (11-4) win next week or Jacksonville lose one of their final two games, the New York club that finished 115 in 1996 will have a first-round play-off bye after only two years with Bill Parcells coaching.

"It's pretty emotional, I couldn't be happier," Parcells said. "I take pride in the fact we won this division. We're not the greatest, but mentally, we're pretty tough now. Beating these contenders on the road, we deserve to win the division. We got a lot ahead of us, I look forward to the challenge. By no means do I feel we're done."
