‘It’s big news for a Bills defense that has struggled for the majority of the 2020 season. Without Matt Milano, the middle of Buffalo’s defense has been exposed in recent weeks. His return to the lineup should help significantly against a returning Sam Darnold.’

Sullivan: Not much to take out of beating hapless Jets

Bills snap out of funk, BUT it was against Jets and they didn’t score a TD
‘Said Allen: “We got to keep plugging away. Obviously we want to score more touchdowns and more points But it is a division win. We’ll take ‘em when we can get them.”’
Bills End 2-Game Skid With 18-10 Victory Over Winless Jets
‘The Bills fell behind 10-0 early and looked sluggish for most of the game, and the victory marked their first without getting a touchdown since they beat Washington 17-16 in 2007 on five field goals by Rian Lindell and a safety.’
Tyler Bass carries Bills to win over Jets
‘It was, by no means, a pretty win for the Bills. For a while, it looked like the outcome of the game was going to be worse than just an ugly victory for Buffalo.’
Opinion: Field goals and defense push Bills over Jets
‘It wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but no victory can look good when a team trails to an opponent that’s now 0-7 for the majority of the game. An afternoon that featured no touchdowns from a Bills offense that could use a breakout performance wasn’t reassuring either.’
Opinion: Defense’s second half turnaround leads the way
‘If you believe in turning points to a season, perhaps that second half performance will create some forward momentum and carry this defense to some better days. Coming into Sunday, the Bills were in the bottom-five in nearly every key defensive category and came off two consecutive poor performances.’
Opinion: It was a struggle, but a win is what mattered most
‘Once again, a Bills opponent decided to play a lot of soft zone coverage in an attempt to take away any big pass plays from the Bills and the Jets were successful with that plan.’
Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down – Bills at Jets
‘The Bills entered the game with the best third down offense in the NFL, but only converted on 3-of-11 chances against the Jets (27%). All eight of the non-conversions resulted in field goal attempts.’
Bills hang on to beat Jets 18-10 behind six field goals
‘The win gives the Bills a one and a half game lead in the AFC East at 5-2. The Jets, on the other hand, fall to 0-7 on the year. Buffalo hosts the New England Patriots next week.’
Bills defense punches back with dominating performance against Jets
‘After allowing 10 points to the Sam Darnold led Jets offense in the first 30 minutes of the game, the Bills pitched a shutout in the second half. After throwing for 116 yards in the first half, Darnold had just four in the second half.’
Bass: “It’s not about how many you make, it’s about what you do after a miss.”
‘It hasn’t all gone right for Tyler Bass so far this year. Through seven games, he’s made just 12 out of his 17 field goal attempts. Until Sunday, he hadn’t made a single one that was 50 or more yards. Regardless, Bass feels better with each kick in a game.’
Matt Milano, Tre’Davious White active for Bills vs. Jets
‘Milano has missed half of the Bills games this season including the last two, which were both losses.’
