Bills vs. Jets Monday Night Football: Buffalo De h

h
feats New York 23-20The Jets, in their first game with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich replacing fired Robert Saleh, had a shot to beat the Buffalo Bills despite numerous mistakes including a stunning amount of penalties and a couple of huge missed field goals. Aaron Rodgers found Williams downfield for what looked like a massive gain that would have put the Jets inside the red zone. But as Williams started to come back to the ball, he fell down. That allowed Bills cornerback Taron Johnson to dive in front of Williams and get a game-clinching interception. h

That’s the Jets this season. An opportunity for something special was there, and they tripped all over themselves getting to it. The Bills ran out the clock after that interception and won 23-20. h

The Jets knew the stakes coming into the game. If they won they would be 3-3 and in first place of the AFC East. A loss and they’d be two games behind the Bills, with a disappointing 2-4 record. Even in mid-October it felt like a must-win game for the Jets, especially after the coaching change shook up the organization. h

There aren’t any more coaching changes coming. The Jets lost, and now they have a big hole to dig out of. It doesn’t help that they can’t get out of their own way hh

Jets Score a Hail Mary at the End of the First Half

The Jets had a good first half, with strong performances from Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. They also made a change at play-caller, which seemed to help. However, the biggest play of the half was a lucky Hail Mary touchdown by Allen Lazard. It was his fourth Hail Mary touchdown in his career, and his first with the Jets. Maybe he has a special talent for catching these long passes.
