Allen didn’t look comfortable in the pocket all night and made careless mistakes with the football. The Jets sacked Allen five times, hit him eight times and picked him off three times. The Jets were able to keep this game close because of how they bottled up Allen and the Bills offense. Rosenblatt Allen, Bills bottled up by Jets If Zach Wilson can take care of the ball, maybe Garrett Wilson, Hall and the defense can take care of the rest for a while. Hall ran 10 times for 127 yards - including an 83-yard run that set up a short Greg Zuerlein field goal in the second quarter.

Garrett Wilson did what everyone expected, making a remarkable 3-yard touchdown catch with 4:55 remaining where he was draped in coverage, bobbled the pass from Zach Wilson and tipped it to himself as he was falling.

I tell him, if you can do that every day, you’re going to be one of the top dudes in this league for a while. He came out every day and was the same person. That’s one of those words that’s everything in football, how consistent can you do it. He always was ballin but then it was like: Oh, this is an everyday-type thing with Zay.
