‘The Bills’ run defense was MIA again, this time surrendering 174 yards on 34 carries — over five per try — helping the Jets to a 6½-minute edge in time of possession.’

Observations: Run defense gets trampled in Bills' disappointing loss to Jets
‘Twice looks like the start of a troubling trend. The Buffalo Bills’ run defense was run over Sunday by the New York Jets, who piled up 174 yards on the ground on their way to a 20-17 victory at MetLife Stadium. The win moved the Jets to 6-3, just a half-game behind the Bills (6-2) in the AFC East race that suddenly looks as though it is going to be a fight for the rest of the season.’
Ryan O'Halloran: Josh Allen directs blame at himself for Bills' loss ... accurately so
‘Against a Jets team teetering on the edge of disaster after losing last week to New England, Allen kept both teams in the game. He was responsible for both Bills touchdowns (rushes of one and 36 yards), and he threw two careless interceptions, the first in the red zone on the game’s opening drive and the second after a sack/forced fumble by Von Miller late in the third quarter.’
Bills receivers unable to counter halftime adjustments by Jets defense
‘The Bills combined for just five catches in the second half, totaling 42 yards, as the offense wasn’t clicking. Even when going to the run, the Bills had just 41 yards on the ground after halftime.’
Three questions: Josh Allen's INTs top problem list as Jets D proves it's legit
‘Run defense. Yep, the Bills missed Matt Milano and Jordan Poyer. Jaquan Johnson had a rough day chasing down Jets running backs. There were way too many missed tackles.’
Plays that shaped the game: Bad angles, overflows, no shedding mark Jets' winning drive
‘Three big runs got the New York Jets rolling on a time-consuming drive to a winning field goal in an upset of the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.’
Report Card: Run defense, passing attack get failing grades in Bills' loss to Jets
‘The Bills’ defensive players said they expected the Jets to try to copy some of what the Packers did well running the ball in Week 8. That defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier’s group looked so unprepared to stop it is a problem. Another problem is on offense, as so many plays felt forced Sunday. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey wasn’t able to get his group into any sort of rhythm. The Bills did show good clock management in getting a field-goal attempt at the end of the first half. Coach Sean McDermott also had all three timeouts available to him inside the 2-minute warning at the end of the game, which allowed the offense to get the ball back with plenty of time to attempt a final drive. McDermott constantly stresses the importance of divisional games, so being 0-2 in the AFC East has to be driving him nuts at the moment.’
'Where else would you rather be?' An inside look at the Bills' stadium vision
‘“In this visioning session, it became evident that the Pegulas were looking for a stadium that exuded football, family, fandom, and a sense of belonging and togetherness,” Radecic recalled in an email last week. “A place for all Bills fans to call home. A loud, vibrant, intimidating, electrifying place.”’
Bills offense flops, Josh Allen throws two more picks in inexcusable loss to Jets
‘It sure seemed like we were past games like this for Josh Allen, but Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, the Buffalo Bills quarterback had a performance that took us back five years to his rookie season.’
Bills burned by sloppy Josh Allen, woeful run defense in another poor finish
‘Perhaps we’ll look back at this and call it the necessary slap in the face they needed on their way to the Super Bowl. But if they aren’t careful and their play Sunday continues, not only are they not going to make it to the Super Bowl, they’re going to have a tough time winning the now extremely competitive AFC East and securing a home playoff game.’
What in the world is going on with Bills QB Josh Allen? He said he played like s***
‘Allen played arguably one of the worst games he’s played in his professional career on Sunday. He finished with less than a 47.0 passer rating for just the sixth time in his career. Allen failed to throw a single touchdown in all six of those games (Three of the games were in 2018, one was in 2019, and one came last season against the Atlanta Falcons).’
8 straight runs! Von Miller has idea to help fix Bills’ sudden run defense woes
‘The Bills had been mostly good against the run before the last two games. The Ravens were the only team to rush for more than 100 yards against Buffalo in its first six games. Then the Packers exploded for 208 yards last week and now the Jets followed up with a 174-yard beatdown on the ground.’
It’s time to call Odell Beckham Jr. after Bills fall to 0-2 in division following 20-17 loss to Jets (Report card)
‘There is no defending some of Josh Allen’s throws over the past six quarters. Whether he’s simply forcing things or not reading the field well, Allen is making bad decisions that give opposing teams opportunities to score. That’s exactly what happened on Sunday.’
Former Bills OL trolls Buffalo following loss to Jets
‘Feliciano was referencing a common discussion on Twitter between Bills, Jets and Giants fans about who are really New York teams. Buffalo is the only team to actually play in New York as the Giants and Jets play in New Jersey. Giants and Jets fans, however, argue that their franchises are big market teams that represent New York City while looking down on Buffalo’s small market.’
Allen, sloppy Bills gift critical divisional win to Jets; Buffalo falls to 0-2 in AFC East
‘The Jets’ critical divisional victory was decided on New York’s final possession of the fourth quarter, when Wilson helped guide the Jets’ offense along a 13-play, 86-yard drive that ate up 6:40 of the final frame, culminating in a 28-yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein, putting the Jets ahead by three points, which turned out to be the difference. Buffalo regained possession, trailing by three points with 1:43 remaining, but a crucial penalty and a sack-fumble created by the Jets’ defense set the Bills’ back and they ultimately couldn’t recover, turning the ball over on downs. New York went on to kneel out the final seconds to seal the deal.’
