The Bills took command of the AFC East with their 23-20 road win against the Jets on Monday night.
Here are five takeaways from the Week 6 finale.
Buffalo still rules the AFC East
The Bills already have a comfortable lead in the division they’ve won four consecutive times (2020-23). The Jets (2-4) had an opportunity to pull even in the AFC East with a win, but special teams miscues and penalties were too much for New York to overcome.
Buffalo’s vulnerabilities were displayed in back-to-back losses in Weeks 4 and 5, but the gap between Buffalo and its division foes is so vast that they’ll be negligible until the postseason arrives.
Nathaniel Hackett was the problem
Despite the loss, the Jets offense looked the best it has all season in passing game coordinator Todd Downing’s first game as the play-caller, taking over for offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sharp, completing one of the most ridiculous throws of the season on a perfect pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard in the fourth quarter.
