Regardless of how it played out, the Buffalo Bills escaped with a very important win over the New York Jets in Week 6. The Bills needed to snap a two-game losing streak that had gotten out of control against quality AFC opponents. The importance of gaining their own two-game lead over the nearest AFC East rival early in the season cannot be overstated.
We can’t know for sure how the night would have played out had none of the missed kicks happened, but the most harmful lost points belonged to the Jets. Teams facing the Bills are often quick to point out that self-inflicted mistakes are magnified when Josh Allen is on the other sideline.
