Sal’s Sticks: Jets at Bills
‘Bills’ linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said after the game that you don’t notice special teams until they cost you. Well, they certainly cost the Bills in this one. The special teams’ units may have had their worst day of an already bad season overall. There were plenty of issues. A blocked field goal. Another missed field goal. Then two huge kickoff returns against (and another that was eventually called back) that cost a ton of field position and made it easy on the Jets to score ten points. The Bills also had an illegal formation on another kickoff. It was an especially bad day for the special teams.’

‘However, Darnold was very good when it mattered late. The scramble and twirl TD pass to Robbie Anderson was the completed version of Allen’s final play last week in Miami. The 37-yarder to Anderson that set up the game winning score was a dime that would make Magic Johnson jealous.’
