BUFFALO, NY - The Buffalo Bills named Trent Edwards as their starting quarterback on Wednesday. Head coach Dick Jauron confirmed the rookie quarterback from Stanford will be the starter for the Buffalo Bills, not just the starter for the week. Jauron was encouraged by the continuing improved play from Edwards, despite the lack of point production. Edwards has thrown for one touchdown and four interceptions this season, compiling a 2-1 record as a the Bills' starter.

The week 8 start marks the fourth straight for Edwards. Edwards will face the Jets for the second time in his short career, winning 17-14 in his first career start as he threw for 234 yards, a TD and a pick.

Former starter J.P. Losman was replaced by Edwards when New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork hit Losman's knee, an incident deemed with intentions to injure as Wilfork was fined $12,500 by the league. Losman suffered a knee sprain and has been sidelined since the hit. The Bills are 0-2 with Losman under center this season.
