Top 3 things we learned from Bills at Jets

The Bills controlled the scoreboard and the clock in their 30-10 Week 2 victory over their AFC rival New York Jets. Here are the top three things we learned.

It’s not often the Bills can go a full game without a Josh Allen touchdown and still win decisively, yet that’s exactly what happened Sunday at MetLife Stadium. All three Bills touchdowns came from players not named Allen, marking the first time since 2020 that Buffalo won without a score from their MVP QB.

Led by RB James Cook, the Bills methodically utilized their run game, finishing with 224 rush yards and only three runs gaining over 8 yards despite having 43 attempts.

“When something’s not broke, don’t fix it,” Allen said. “We kept going back to it and it worked out pretty good for us.”

When the Bills did create explosives in the run game, they were important. Allen’s 40-yard scramble on 3rd and 8 — the third 40-yard regular season rush of his career — led to an opening drive touchdown run by Cook from six yards out.

“It was important for us to get off to a good start. I thought we did that in a complimentary way, scoring on offense, getting some three and outs early, a take away early, setting our offense up,” head coach Sean McDermott said.
