Heroes, Zeros, and the full blitz from the Jets’ 23-20 loss to the Bills on Monday:
Hero
Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has battled the Jets defense in recent years, did a fantastic job controlling this game, completing 19 of 25 passes for 215 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers.
Unsung hero
Even in the loss, Allen Lazard, who has been maligned for dropping a number of passes this season, had his best game as a Jet, catching six passes for 114 yards, including an acrobatic 52-yard catch of an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary for a TD on the last play of the first half.
Zero
Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two short field goals in the second half that would have given the Jets the lead β the first a 32-yarder late in the third quarter and the second a 43-yarder midway through the fourth quarter.
Key stat
4: Rodgers’ Hail Mary TD to Lazard was the fourth successful Hail Mary of his career.
