Bills vs. Jets: 4 takeaways as dominant Buffalo defense shuts down New York
By Joe Buscaglia, Zack Rosenblatt and Connor Ennis
James Cook rushed for two touchdowns, Matt Prater kicked three field goals and the Buffalo Bills throttled the New York Jets in a 30-10 road victory Sunday.
The Bills’ performance in improving to 2-0 wasn’t spectacular — Josh Allen threw for just 148 yards — but it was dominant. Buffalo simply controlled the game throughout. Its 224 rushing yards, including 132 from Cook, were the most the Jets have allowed in a game since 2021. At the end of the third quarter, New York had 87 total yards, had failed to convert any of its six third-down opportunities and had yet to have a play inside Buffalo’s 20. Bills defensive end Joey Bosa had a sack and forced two fumbles.
