Buffalo turned that free first down into a 1-yard rushing TD by James Cook for a 7-0 lead.
On a day when the Jets didn’t do a lot right in a 30-10 loss to the Bills, the worst of their performance came in the first quarter in the form of yet another boneheaded penalty from defensive end Micheal Clemons, a player whose career is becoming defined by them.
The Bills were facing a third-and-19 from the Jets 30-yard line on their first offensive possession when Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen threw a pass to Khalil Shakir that was broken up by Michael Carter II.
The defensive stop, however, was negated when Clemons, who’s spent his career committing dumb, undisciplined penalties, was called for roughing the passer with a late hit on Allen.
Buffalo turned that free first down into a 1-yard rushing TD by James Cook for a 7-0 lead.
“I did my best to hit him clean,” Clemons told The Post’s Brian Costello. “I have to look at it and observe it, but they threw the flag at the end of the day.”
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, whose mantra is not tolerating players making plays that cause the team to lose, still had Clemons back on the field on the next defensive series.
