Bills Beat Jets 31-12: Allen Rushes for Two Touchdowns, Cook Seals Win With 74-Yard Run
The Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets 31-12 on November 15 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in an AFC East matchup in Week 10 of the NFL season. Quarterback Josh Allen rushed for two 1-yard touchdowns, and running back James Cook III sealed the win with a 74-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Buffalo improved to 8-1, still the best record in the AFC, while the Jets fell to 2-8 with a fifth straight loss.
Allen opened the scoring with a 1-yard run in the first quarter, and Tyler Bass added the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Bass added a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter, while Jason Sanders kicked two field goals for the Jets, and Buffalo led 10-6 at halftime. The Jets cut it to 10-9 with a field goal early in the third quarter, but Allen answered with his second 1-yard rushing touchdown. After a 48-yard Sanders field goal, Allen threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to D. Moore, and Buffalo took a 24-12 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Jets drove with a chance to make it a one-score game in the fourth quarter but turned the ball over. On Buffalo's first play after the takeaway, Cook broke free for a 74-yard touchdown run, the longest run of his career, making it 31-12 and putting the game away. The quarter scores were Buffalo 7, 3, 14, 7 and the Jets 0, 6, 6, 0; New York did not score a touchdown, with all 12 of its points coming on four Sanders field goals.
Buffalo next faces the Miami Dolphins on November 22, while the Jets' losing streak stretches into the second half of the season.
