‘All three of his interceptions — which were caught by Jets safety Jordan Whitehead — were head-scratching. He wasn’t throwing into coverage all night nor were passes being deflected. Allen just made three isolated throws that caught by Whitehead, two of which came in Jets territory.’

Monday Night Football highlights: Jets win OT thriller vs. Bills; Aaron Rodgers hurt
‘Behind safety Jordan Whitehead’s three interceptions off Bills quarterback Josh Allen, New York’s defense anchored the team and allowed backup Zach Wilson and the offense to hang around and make enough plays to set up a game-tying field goal late in the fourth quarter. Bills quarterback Josh Allen, however, led a nine-play, 43-yard drive that ended with Buffalo placekicker Tyler Bass doinking through a 50-yard kick to tie the game, sending it into overtime.’
Josh Allen’s four-turnover meltdown proves costly in Bills’ overtime loss to Jets
‘Josh Allen completed more than 70% of his passes against the New York Jets during the Buffalo Bills’ 2023 season opener on “Monday Night Football.” The problem for the Bills quarterback is that he also connected with Jets safety Jordan Whitehead on three occasions, tying his career high for interceptions in one game.’
Jets lose Aaron Rodgers to an Achilles tendon injury, then rally to stun Bills 22-16 in overtime
‘“I cost our team tonight,” said Allen, who was 29 of 41 for 236 yards and a touchdown to Stefon Diggs. “It sucks when you feel like the reason, and I am the reason we lost.”’
Bills’ Josh Allen has one of his worst days in the NFL in a loss to the Rodgers-less Jets
‘“We prepared so hard, the effort was there. Our guys played so hard. Defense gave us opportunities,” Allen said. “They played a heck of a game. It sucks when you feel like you are the reason and I am the reason we lost tonight.”’
Aaron Rodgers-less Jets stun Bills in thrilling overtime victory
‘Josh Allen and the Bills won the coin toss to start overtime after tying it with a last-second drive in the fourth quarter to force extra time, but they were forced into a three-and-out. The Jets took advantage and it made up for what looked to be an absolutely tragic start to the 2023 season.’
Josh Allen: Turnovers product of ‘trying to force the ball’
‘Following an offseason and lead-up to the regular season spent emphasizing the importance of reducing turnovers and making smarter decisions on the field, Allen walked into MetLife Stadium on Monday night and did anything but.’
Jets vs. Bills score, takeaways: New York overcomes Aaron Rodgers injury with walk-off punt return TD in OT
‘And yet, thanks mostly to an all-time disaster game from Josh Allen, the Jets still defeated the division rival Buffalo Bills, 22-16, in overtime. Undrafted rookie wide receiver Xavier Gipson won it for the Jets with a 65-yard walk-off punt return touchdown, sending MetLife Stadium into a frenzy as the home team pulled off a shocking upset.’
Bills, Josh Allen Long on Ability but Short on Football IQ
‘The Bills must play smarter football, or they will never approach their full potential.’
Why wasn’t a tripping penalty called on Jets’ Xavier Gipson’s game-winning touchdown vs. Bills?
‘The contact Surratt and Morris makes is minimal to say the least. It also seems he attempted to avoid contact with Morris when they came into the path of each other.’
Bills vs. Jets final score, updates: Xavier Gipson’s walk-off return hands New York comeback win over Buffalo
‘New York’s defense did the same, forcing Bills star Josh Allen into a number of poor decisions. The free-wheeling hurler turned the ball over four times (three interceptions, one fumble), routinely giving a frustrated Jets’ offense something to cling to.’
Josh Allen And His Turnover Issues Create A Major Problem For The Buffalo Bills
‘All Josh Allen and the Bills had to do was not screw it up and they would start out the season 1-0. Except Allen screwed it up — again.’
Bills drop 2023 season opener in overtime to Jets
‘Despite tying the game and forcing overtime at MetLife Stadium, the Jets ended up getting a game-winning 65-yard punt return touchdown from rookie Xavier Gipson to hand Buffalo a 22-16 loss in prime-time on “Monday Night Football”.’
McDermott: It’s hard to win when you turn the ball over four times
‘”You’re playing two opponents, the one on the other sideline and yourself, and that’s what we did tonight.” McDermott said postgame.’
