‘Allen came to life against the vaunted Jets’ defense, finishing 20 of 32 passing for 275 yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception before being removed for backup Kyle Allen with 2:30 remaining. Shakir finished as the Bills’ leading receiver with his 3 receptions for over 100 yards receiving, while running back James Cook recorded a team-high 73 yards rushing to go with a receiving touchdown during interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s first game since taking over for Ken Dorsey, who was fired as the team’s OC earlier in the week.’

‘New York went 15 of 30 passing for 92 yards, with 18 of them coming on a fake by punter Thomas Morestead that set but lone touchdown of the day for the Jets. It was the performance the Bills didn’t get from the defense during Week 1 in New York, or frankly, against other subpar offenses they faced recently.’
