Jeff Ulbrich, the Jets’ interim coach, failed to keep the team on track as they played for the first time since head coach Robert Saleh was fired.
After two straight losses, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen helped his team win by throwing for two touchdowns and running for another.
“We found a way to win,” Allen shared with news.
“We got sloppy in the second half, we’ve got to find a way to put more points on the board, but it was a team victory.”
In a back-and-forth game, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers passed for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
Rodgers’ efforts helped New York to a 10-7 lead after the first quarter but they trailed 20-17 at half-time, despite a stunning Hail Mary pass from the four-time NFL Most Valuable Player, which was claimed by Allen Lazard.
Greg Zuerlein kicked the Jets level in the third quarter, but Tyler Bass registered a field goal of his own with three minutes and 43 seconds remaining to deliver victory.
It is a third straight defeat for the Jets, who fall to third in the AFC East on 2-4, behind the Miami Dolphins and the Bills, who lead the division on 4-2.
