Bills 17
Jets 16
Don’t let the final score fool you – the Bills dominated this game in many areas.
The next Bills drive saw Allen use a mix of his arm and legs to get to the Jets 25 before a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty took them out of field goal range, forcing a Bills punt. The Jets proceeded to struggle moving the ball, averaging about 20 yards per drive over their next 4 drives. Allen certainly made his share of mistakes in this game, as right before the half he threw his 2nd interception of the game after moving the ball 30 yards; Buffalo then went into halftime trailing 6-0, having had 4 costly first half turnovers.
Overall, Bills moved the ball on offense and their defensive line manhandled the Jets offensive line, sacking Darnold 4 times. The Jets got to Allen once. CJ Mosley was all over the field for the Jets defensively. Allen was able to move the ball well most of the game but also made some poor inaccurate throws. His inconsistency should define the Bills season. Aside from the one drive, Jets offense was very sluggish.
