- Bills run over, and run it up, against division rivals. There was no post-Sunday Night Football thriller hangover for Buffalo. Josh Allen and Co. dispatched the upstart Jets with ease, scoring points on six of eight drives with the starting QB under center. Allen set the tone with a 40-yard scamper on the first march, and James Cook hammered home the message with 132 yards (second-best of his career) and two touchdowns. Against a Jets team that put up big offensive numbers in Week 1, Buffalo played keep-away with ease, dominating the time of possession battle with 25 first downs in over 38 minutes on offense. Everyone ate – 10 skill-position players logged touches – and Elijah Moore, a former Jet, had a healthy helping of revenge (31 receiving yards, rushing TD). Even when the Bills were bloodied, they were never even close to beaten; Allen missed just two plays in the first half after significant bleeding from his nose. Buffalo will enjoy this laugher with a short week coming up before its second straight AFC East test in five days against Miami.
- For Jets offense, sequel not as good as original. Justin Fields' and Tanner Engstrand's debuts came as welcome shocks to the system in Florham Park. For the first time in what felt like forever, the Jets had themselves a quarterback and an offensive coordinator working in perfect harmony … which made Sunday's performance all the more discordant. Fields and the Jets offense were lifeless in Week 2, averaging 4.7 plays per drive and 3.3 yards per play. Buffalo keyed in on the run after New York rumbled over Pittsburgh in Week 1, and it worked. Breece Hall was bottled up (29 yards on 10 totes), and Fields was held at bay (49 yards) after running all over the Steelers. With the run game stalled and penalties frequently pushing the Jets back, the passing attack, nonexistent as it was, struggled. Fields was just 3-of-11 passing for 27 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter, deep into a blowout, to be evaluated for a concussion. New York didn't convert a single third down (0-for-11) on the day and didn't reach the end zone until a Tyrod Taylor-to-Jeremy Ruckert strike with less than four minutes to go. Was the Jets' Week 1 jumpstart for real or just an aberration? New York's first road test in Tampa Bay next week will be telling.
- Glenn might need to send another message. After Xavier Gipson fumble turned the tide of the Jets' loss to Pittsburgh, the first-year Gang Green head coach quickly sent him packing. Glenn denied Gipson was waived for his costly cough-up, but the message was sent: Unforced errors will not be tolerated. After Sunday's shellacking, there are too many culprits on the Jets for New York to field a roster next week. Micheal Clemons was the most notable offense on Sunday after his unnecessary roughing the passer penalty on a third-and-19 in Jets territory on the Bills' first drive set Buffalo up for the game-opening TD. Clemons' foul was one of five on the day for 35 yards. Errors similarly riddled the secondary for the second week in the row, with Bills receivers easily beating the Jets secondary on crossing routes. Who, if anyone, will incur the wrath of Glenn this week?
NFL Research: Sunday's game was the first time in the Super Bowl era that the Jets allowed four-plus passing TDs (Week 1 against Steelers) and 200-plus rushing yards (Week 2 against Bills) in consecutive home games.
