Despite Hail Mary touchdown, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets fall to Buffalo Bills in first game since firing head coach

The Buffalo Bills overcame an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary touchdown pass at the end of the first half to edge past the New York Jets 23-20 on Monday Night Football.

The Buffalo Bills overcame an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary touchdown pass at the end of the first half to edge past the New York Jets 23-20 in a penalty-filled victory on Monday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Bills kicker Tyler Bass made a 22-yard field goal with 3:43 left in the game and Buffalo cornerback Taron Johnson intercepted a Rodgers pass in the final two minutes to snap a two-game losing streak and improve to 4-2. Bills quarterback Josh Allen was excellent in the victory, completing 19-of-25 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns, while also running in a score in the first quarter. According to the NFL, Monday’s game was the 21st of Allen’s career with multiple passing touchdowns and at least one rushing score, putting him just behind Cam Newton – who has 22 – on top of the all-time list. “The first half was very good, and we’ve got to find a way in that second half to keep that momentum going,” Allen said afterwards. “Lot to learn from, we got a little sloppy there at the end, some penalties, but that was a team win.” Second-year running back Ray Davis rushed 20 times for 97 yards and had 55 yards through the air in the victory. Davis was filling in for James Cook, who was ruled out with a toe injury prior to the game.
