The New York Jets were able to pull out the overtime win against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday 23-20, but they lost one of their most important pieces in the process.

All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis suffered a torn ACL in the game in his left knee and will undergo season ending surgery, according to an announcement from Jets coach Rex Ryan.

"It's just disappointing," Ryan said to ESPNNewYork.com. "This guy wants to win. As great a player as he is individually, he's a great teammate and just wants to win. That's why he was so excited about this year."

Revis had an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury, which was sustained in the third quarter of the game as he was trying to track down running back Daniel Thomas for a tackle. He was making a cut with his left knee when it occurred; it was a non-contact injury.

It was noncontact," Ryan said. "You could tell it was noncontact. The offensive lineman cut him as the play went on, but that wasn't the injury."

Ryan did not definitively say that Revis would miss the entire season, but the math does not add up in his favor. Revis will wait two or three weeks before having surgery, then will have to rehab for at least six to nine months.

Kyle Wilson, who was drafted in 2010 out of Boise State, will take Revis's starting spot across from Antonio Cromartie.

"We're fortunate because most teams only have one No. 1 corner and some don't have any," Ryan said to CBSSports.com. "We're fortunate because we have the best in the league in Darrelle and we have a No. 1 corner in [Antonio] Cromartie. We drafted Kyle [Wilson] to be a No. 2."

The Jets have suffered when Revis is not in the lineup, including when he missed last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with concussion issues. He was cleared to play for Sunday's game against Miami. The Jets are ranked 21st in passing defense this season, giving up 218 yards per game.

For most teams, the loss of a cornerback wouldn't signal a major shift in the season's expectations. But Revis is not just any cornerback. Revis is considered to be the best player on the Jets and one of the most elite defensive players in the NFL.

He was drafted 14th overall by the Jets in 2007 NFL draft and quickly made an impact on the league, totaling three interceptions his first season. He made his first Pro Bowl in 2008 and has made it each year since then. He was also named to the All-Pro team three straight years from 2009-11.

In 2009 he won the AFC Defensive Player of the Year and had seven interceptions. The following season, unhappy with his contract, he held out of the preseason and later signed a four-year, $46 million contract with $32 million guaranteed. He will be 28-yars-old when he returns from the injury.

On the season, Revis has 11 tackles, 2 passes defensed and one interception as well as a fumble recovery.

The Jets sit in first place in the AFC East, but winning the division just got a bit harder without their number one cornerback.

Other injuries around the league included Miami running back Reggie Bush, who hurt his knee in the same game as Revis.

Bush hurt his left knee with less than 30 seconds left in the first half and had to limp off the field. Luckily for the Dolphins, Bush's injury was not serious and did not result in any structural damage, which means he can play on Sunday when the Dolphins face the cardinals.

Bush came into the game second in the league with 241 rushing yards and had 61 on 10 carries before leaving the game.

Buffalo Bills running back CJ Spiller, who entered week three leading the league in rushing, suffered a shoulder injury in the team's 24-14 win over the Cleveland Browns. Spiller was already replacing starting running back Fred Jackson, who is out with a knee injury, and will most likely miss a couple weeks.

The scariest injury of the weekend went to Raiders wide out Darrius Heyward-Bey after he took a shot to the helmet in the end zone against the Steelers. Heyward-Bey laid motionless on the field and suffered a neck injury. Eventually he was carted off and gave the thumbs up sign before being taken to an area hospital for observations. He was listed as stable and did not suffer a concussion.
