It was another brutally bad performance for the Jets’ defense, which has allowed 175 points in its past four games.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills heard it all after an embarrassing loss last week to Jacksonville. Maybe they’re not as good as everyone thought. Maybe they’re overrated. Maybe they’re pretenders. And then they reminded everyone of why that was probably just an ugly bump in the road with a dominant and thorough thrashing of the New York Jets in a 45-17 victory Sunday. “That’s one thing we’re not going to do: ride the roller coaster of we’re the worst team to ever play, and now we’re the best team to ever play,” Allen said. “We’re going to stay consistent and steady.” That’s exactly what they were against the Jets. Allen threw two touchdown passes, Buffalo ran for four scores and the Bills’ top-ranked defense intercepted Mike White four times. It was an impressive showing for the Bills (6-3), who rebounded nicely from that 9-6 dud at Jacksonville. “Having that bad taste in our mouth from last week, not performing to our standard, it kind of put a little more urgency in our preparation,” said cornerback Levi Wallace, who had one of the Bills’ four INTs. “We didn’t get enough turnovers last week to give the offense more opportunities. “I think that was one of our main focus, trying to make the other team one-dimensional — make them throw the ball, which creates turnovers.” Taron Johnson, Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer also picked off White, who made his third straight start for the injured Zach Wilson. It was a big day for the secondary, which had all five starters with a turnover, including Micah Hyde’s forced fumble and recovery.
