The second meeting between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets was another defensive war, but this time around, the Bills emerged victorious. Unlike last meeting, when Josh Allen pushed too aggressively to make plays that weren’t there, Allen and his teammates avoided turnovers and steadily built a lead over the Jets. The Bills defense, aided by some returning starters, tightened up their coverage and gap integrity for most of the afternoon. It ended with a 20-12 win for the Bills.
The first half was, depending on your perspective, a 27-minute slog or a showcase of defensive players and playcalling.
