Jets stifle Allen, use late scoring drive to beat Bills
The New York Jets held Josh Allen in check and used a late scoring drive to upset the Buffalo Bills 20-17 on Sunday.
Tied at 17 late, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson engineered a 86-yard drive before Greg Zuerlein drilled a game-winning field goal with just over a minute remaining.
The Jets kept Allen from throwing a passing touchdown and intercepted him twice in the victory over their divisional rival. It was the first game this season in which the Bills quarterback did not throw for a score.
"It's tough to win when your quarterback plays like shit," Allen said postgame, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Allen, who was favoring his arm after getting hit on the Bills' final drive, added that he's feeling some pain in his elbow, though he wasn't overly concerned.
New York's ground game played a critical role as the unit rushed for 174 yards. Michael Carter led the team with 76 yards while James Robinson contributed 48.
The victory moves the Jets to 6-3, positioning them just behind the 6-2 Bills. New York has won five of its last six games.
