The Buffalo Bills pulled off a close win against the New York Jets on Monday night, 23-20. Despite Aaron Rodgers' impressive Hail Mary touchdown pass at the end of the first half, the Bills kept their cool and secured the victory. Josh Allen played exceptionally well, throwing two touchdowns and running for another. Allen's performance put him just behind Cam Newton on the list for most games with multiple passing touchdowns and a rushing score. The Jets were up 10-7 after the first quarter, showing promise under their new coaching lineup. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich and new offensive coordinator Todd Downing seemed to have a positive impact early on. However, the Bills rallied back in the second quarter, taking a 17-10 lead before Rodgers' magical Hail Mary touchdown brought the Jets back into the game. The second half was much harder for both teams to score. The Jets faced issues with their kicker, Greg Zuerlein, who missed crucial field goals in the windy conditions. Despite the challenges, the Bills managed to kick a field goal in the final minutes and secure an interception to seal the win. The Bills' victory ended their two-game losing streak and solidified their lead in the AFC East division. Meanwhile, the Jets, now 2-4, will look to regroup before their next game.
