The Jets (3-14) closed out the 2025 season in Buffalo, falling to the Bills (12-5), 35-8.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, the game was disappointing,” HC Aaron Glenn said. “The only thing that I can think about is moving on to next year.”<\/p>\n
Glenn added: “At the end of the day, we didn’t do enough to win enough games.”<\/p>\n
Buffalo took a 7-0 lead on the first possession, as QB Mitchell Trubisky connected with TE Dawson Knox for a 17-yard score. After a three-and-out by the Jets’ offense, the defense came up with a fourth-down stop and put the ball back in the hands of rookie QB Brady Cook. The Jets, however, were unable to capitalize and punted.<\/p>\n
The Bills scored on the ensuing possession as RB Ty Johnson took a direct snap and scored from 6 yards out. The Jets were then unable to convert on a fourth-and-1 and Buffalo added another 7 points via a 2-yard pass from Trubisky to RB Ray Davis.<\/p>\n
Late in the second quarter, Austin McNamara<\/a> punted the ball 39 yards, and Arian Smith<\/a> and Kene Nwangwu<\/a> teamed up to down the ball at the Buffalo 2-yard line. The Jets entered the locker room at halftime trailing by 21-0.<\/p>\n On the first possession of the second half, the Jets faced a fourth-and-1 from their own 39-yard line but were unable to pick up a first down. Trubisky led an 11-play, 54-yard scoring drive and connected with WR Gabe Davis for a 2-yard score. Buffalo K Matt Prater left the game with a quad injury, and Buffalo converted a 2-point conversion attempt to extend the lead, 29-0.<\/p>\n Late in the third quarter, the Jets delivered a goal-line stand. With a first-and-goal from the 10-yard line, Buffalo made four attempts to score but were stopped. DL Jowon Briggs<\/a> delivered the final stop, with a TFL of Johnson, to force the turnover on downs.<\/p>\n The Bills scored on their next possession, however, as Trubisky connected with Johnson from 6 yards out. The ensuing 2-point conversion attempt failed.<\/p>\n Cook led a 10-play, 48-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter. The rookie found FB Andrew Beck<\/a> for a 2-yard score. It was Beck’s second TD reception of the season and the second TD pass of Cook’s NFL career. Cook then connected with WR Quentin Skinner<\/a> for a 2-point conversion. Skinner recorded his first NFL reception earlier in the drive.<\/p>\n “It was a tough one,” Cook said. “Just a tough one. They had our number. We didn’t execute for most of that game, and it’s a lot to learn from. \u2026 My reps, my experience that I got, this team’s experience that we got this entire year as a whole, we have to learn from it. We have to move on from it. We can’t let it happen again.”<\/p>\n Jetcetera
