The New York Jets lost Aaron Rodgers for the season but won their Week 1 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.
An incredible defensive effort, one that featured three interceptions from Jordan Whitehead, allowed the Jets to escape from MetLife Stadium with an opening victory, topping the division rival Bills 23-16 in this year’s season premiere of Monday Night Football.
Garrett Wilson and Xavier Gipson provided the victorious points: the former’s improbably juggling grab created a 13-all tie in the fourth quarter while the undrafted rookie Gipson closed things out with a 65-yard run to glory on a punt return in the early stages of the extra session.
