The team hasn't averaged 4 yards per carry in a game since October 9 in a win over Detroit. He was eventually helped off and into the blue medical tent, then taken to the locker room on a cart.The Patriots running game has gone cold in recent weeks. Rodgers' left foot appeared to get caught up under his and Floyd's bodies, and he remained down on the field after the play. On the Jets' fourth play from scrimmage, Leonard Floyd came around the left side of the New York offensive line and grabbed hold of Rodgers, eventually throwing him to the turf. Allen gave away what should have been a sure win by repeatedly giving the Jets the ball. And Garrett Wilson was the only Jet with more than three receptions, and he made one of the best touchdown grabs you'll see all year. Breece Hall's playing time was limited in his first game back from tearing his ACL and meniscus last season, but he still managed 147 yards on his 11 touches. Meanwhile, their young stars made huge plays on offense. They held Buffalo running backs James Cook and Latavius Murray to 54 yards on 14 carries. But the Jets also shut down the deep part of the field throughout the game, limiting Allen to only 5.8 yards per attempt, with three completions and three interceptions on throws of more than 15 air yards. Jordan Whitehead had the game of his life, recording more interceptions during this contest than he had during any previous season of his career. Their dominant defense stepped up and forced FOUR turnovers, keeping things close for just long enough that the offense was finally able to put some points on the board.
That set up Gipson's dramatic play, which was just the third overtime punt return touchdown in NFL history. Allen's fumble set up a late go-ahead field goal by Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein, but there was enough time left for Allen to lead the Bills back down the field to set up Tyler Bass' 50-yard kick to send it into overtime.īuffalo began the extra period with the ball, but quickly went three-and-out. The first two interceptions came on forced passes deep into double coverage, while the third came when he tried to fit a pass in between two defenders but left the throw too far inside. He was picked off three times by Jets safety Jordan Whitehead and also lost a fumble. Undrafted rookie wide receiver Xavier Gipson won it for the Jets with a 65-yard walk-off punt return touchdown, sending MetLife Stadium into a frenzy as the home team pulled off a shocking upset.īeyond Rodgers, the story of the night was Allen's four-turnover game. Rodgers left the game and was quickly ruled out, then replaced under center by Zach Wilson, whom he had deposed as the starter following this offseason's blockbuster trade.Īnd yet, thanks mostly to an all-time disaster game from Josh Allen, the Jets still defeated the division rival Buffalo Bills, 22-16, in overtime. But once Leonard Floyd brought Rodgers down for a sack and the quarterback went back down to the turf after briefly getting up, it was clear thing things had gone awry. The dreams of the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets lasted exactly four snaps.Īfter the defense held serve and forced the Buffalo Bills to punt on their opening drive and then Breece Hall ripped off a long run on the Jets' first offensive snap of the season, things were looking up.
