In a shocking turn of events after his heroics in Week 1, quarterback Josh Allen did not lead the way in this win. Allen was 14-for-25 passing for only 148 yards. It was only the second time in Allen’s NFL career the Bills won a game where he did not score a touchdown.
Run offense: A

So how did the Bills win despite Allen’s average game? The effort on the ground.
Allen himself have six carries for 59 yards. Running back James Cook stole the show, taking 21 carries for 132 yards (6.3 avg) with two going for touchdowns. His 44-yard score was a thing of beauty.

Offense, defense, special teams. Take your pick, the Bills outclassed the Jets.
Having said that, credit to head coach Sean McDermott. After an emotional Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens, his team did not overlook the Jets in the slightest.
