The New York Jets overcame the loss of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers to defeat the Buffalo Bills 22-16 in an overtime thriller on Sunday. The Jets were without Rodgers, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury, but the team was able to rally around backup quarterback Sam Darnold and pull out the win.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Bills taking an early lead and the Jets responding with a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. The Bills then scored again to take a 14-7 lead, but the Jets responded with a touchdown of their own to tie the game at 14-14. The teams traded field goals in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, Darnold led the Jets on a long drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to wide receiver Jamison Crowder. The Bills had one last chance to tie the game, but their drive stalled and the Jets held on for the win.
The victory was a testament to the Jets’ resilience and ability to overcome adversity. Without their star quarterback, they were able to rally around Darnold and pull out a hard-fought win. The win also snapped a two-game losing streak for the Jets and improved their record to 3-2 on the season.
The Jets will now look to build on this win as they prepare for their next game against the Miami Dolphins. With Rodgers expected to miss at least one more game, the team will need to continue to rely on Darnold and their defense if they want to keep their winning streak alive.
