First Quarter


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Bills managed to break through first with a field goal from Matt Prater, who was perfect on all three attempts during the game. The Jets' offense was stifled early on by Buffalo's relentless defensive pressure.


Second Quarter


Buffalo's ground game took center stage in the second quarter as James Cook powered through for two rushing touchdowns. Cook finished with an impressive 132 yards on 21 carries. Josh Allen added another dimension to the offense with his mobility, contributing 59 rushing yards himself.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, Buffalo continued its dominance on both sides of the ball. A.J. Epenesa recovered a crucial fumble that set up another scoring opportunity for Prater's reliable leg. Meanwhile, Greg Rousseau made his presence felt in New York’s backfield by adding half a sack and consistently pressuring their quarterback.


Fourth Quarter


As time wound down in East Rutherford, Buffalo maintained control and sealed their victory without allowing any significant comeback from Gang Green. Taylor Rapp showcased solid defensive play throughout this period by making key tackles that thwarted any potential momentum shifts for New York.
