EJ Manuel Benched for Cardale Jones vs. Jets: Latest Comments, Reaction

Rookie quarterback Cardale Jones saw his first action of the regular season Sunday after the Buffalo Bills benched starter EJ Manuel.

Manuel—who was starting his first game of the year in place of Tyrod Taylor—was 9-of-20 for 86 passing yards and no touchdowns through three quarters before being benched. The Bills trailed the New York Jets 20-3 when they made the lineup change.

Jones was a fourth-round pick in the 2016 draft out of Ohio State.

The Bills have gone through an interesting overhaul in the final week of the season.
