NFL Week 6 Recap: Buffalo Bills 23, New York Jets 20

The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets had their offenses humming, but a windy night at MetLife Stadium caused kicking woes.

Greg Zuerlein and Tyler Bass combined to miss three field goals and one extra point, but it was Zuerlein's errors — a 32-yard miss, in particular — that ultimately proved fatal. The Jets fell to the Bills, 23-20, in Week 6 despite Aaron Rodgers and Breece Hall getting New York's offense back on track.

Buffalo rookie running back Ray Davis stepped up for an injured James Cook and accounted for more than 150 yards of offense, while Josh Allen made several spectacular plays to march the Bills down the field.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Aaron Rodgers played another solid game despite the loss. The veteran went 7-for-13 for 158 passing yards and two touchdowns on throws targeted 10 or more yards downfield. While he was aided by a successful last-second Hail Mary to end the second half, his connection with Garrett Wilson was the primary propellant for that success.
