The new Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady is off to a solid start. Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes in the team’s first game since the firing of Ken Dorsey. The Bills ended a two-game losing streak by dominating the Jets 32-6 at home, bringing their record to 6-5. This win provides some relief as they prepare for a challenging Week 12 trip to Philadelphia.
Despite throwing an interception on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half, Allen and the offense were able to avoid the turnovers that plagued them in previous games. Allen completed 20-of-32 passes for 275 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown pass to Khalil Shakir, the longest play from scrimmage in the league this year. Additionally, James Cook contributed 73 yards on 17 carries, helping the Bills secure back-to-back touchdowns on their first two possessions of the second half.
While the Bills showed improvement, the Jets continued to struggle. Although they managed to score their first touchdown since Week Eight, it was clear that they remain off track. Quarterback Zach Wilson threw an interception and led the team to five punts before being pulled from the game in the third quarter. Head coach Robert Saleh now faces the decision of who will start at quarterback for their upcoming game against the Dolphins on Black Friday.
With no viable options available in the trade market and the team falling to 4-6, the Jets face uncertainty moving forward. The day began with a report that Aaron Rodgers is targeting December 2 for a practice return, raising questions about whether it is worth attempting with the possibility of more losses.
Despite potential challenges in the secondary against Philadelphia due to injuries, the Bills are in a much better position. Rasul Douglas, who had two interceptions and a fumble recovery, also suffered an injury late in the game. The team may need to shuffle their lineup as they aim for another victory next Sunday.
