‘Rapp was all over the field for the Bills, even before his game-securing PBU in the fourth quarter. He came up with a massive hit on Garrett Wilson in the third quarter after the receiver hauled in what looked like a touchdown catch. Rapp’s hit jarred the ball out and the Jets had to settle for a field goal attempt. Veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein missed the 32-yard try off the upright. Zuerlein missed another kick later in the game.’

How Bills defense shut down Aaron Rodgers, Jets to secure critical AFC East road win
‘Four critical defensive plays allowed the Bills to hold on for the win. Safety Taylor Rapp and cornerback Taron Johnson – who both returned from injury this week – made all of them.’
Aaron Rodgers says what all Bills fans were thinking following Jets’ Monday Night Football loss
‘One call that Rodgers specifically called out? The roughing-the-passer call that went against Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa. “Some of them seemed really bad,” Rodgers added. “Including the roughing passer on me. That’s not roughing the passer.”’
NFL officials call ‘the WORST roughing the passer call in NFL history’ in Bills-Jets game (Media reactions)
‘Following the play, many people reacted on social media calling the penalty one of the worst in league history. Here are a few of the reactions.’
NFL officials think they’re the main character in Bills’ win over Jets (Encouraged/worried)
‘No James Cook? No problem. Ray Davis put on a show on Monday Night Football on the ground and through the air. Davis had 100 total yards from scrimmage with two minutes remaining in the first half. He finished with 97 yards rushing on 20 attempts (4.9 YPC) and 55 yards on three receptions. It was a coming-out party for the rookie back.’
Bills end two-game skid, widen gap in AFC East with victory over Jets
‘Twenty-two penalties were called throughout the night, totaling 204 yards.’
Five Takeaways: Bills battle through missed FG, miscues to maintain divisional supremacy over Jets
‘After recording the worst passing performance of his career during Buffalo’s Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans, Josh Allen rebounded with an efficient performance to help spark the Buffalo offense during Monday night’s win over New York. Allen began the game 10 of 12 for 112 yards passing and 2 touchdowns passing in the first half, finishing 19 of 25 for 215 yards passing and the 2 scores. He also added a rushing touchdown.’
Rookie Ray Davis’ physical running style provides a need spark to Bills offense
‘“If you’re going to hit a guy, hit a guy and let him know we’re here to play some football,” Kincaid told the Gazette after the game. “… I think it’s just contagious, not only for the offense, but for the special teams and the defense. It gets the sideline going, it gets the team going and just sets the tone for the rest of the game.”’
Sabato: The Bills still rule the AFC East, but they still don’t look like a championship-caliber team
‘That may be true and they snapped a two-game losing streak, but the Bills still didn’t feel like the championship-caliber team everyone saw over the first three weeks of the season. Instead of thumping a turbulent Jets team six days removed from firing their head coach, the Bills squeaked across the finish line.’
