The Bills (13-3) routed the Jets (4-12) in a 40-14 final. New York only put up points once both teams pulled their starters from the contest in the fourth quarter, only further displaying Buffalo’s dominance on Sunday.
With the victory, the Bills have locked up the No. 2 overall seed in the AFC ahead of the 2024 NFL postseason. That means Buffalo earned a “defacto bye” in Week 18, which will give their starters some well-deserved rest.
The battle for the 2024 NFL MVP Award continues to go back and forth between Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Allen staked another claim against the Jets.
Allen was 16-for-27 passing for 182 yards with two touchdowns. Allen rushed in another score and did not turn the ball over.
The Jets only put points on the board when they took quarterback Aaron Rodgers out and put former Bill Tyrod Taylor under center. Buffalo’s defense essentially shutout New York. Both sides of the ball were fantastic for the Bills.
The top highlight for Buffalo was AJ Epenesa’s safety. Rodgers had a few backup offensive linemen in front of him due to injury. The Bills had four sacks, hit Rodgers six more times, and had two interceptions, even defensive tackle Jordan Phillips hauled one in. Over his past eight games, Rodgers only had one pick.
