Defense shuts down Jets offensive attack
A week after allowing 40 points to the Baltimore Ravens, the Bills defense dominated, allowing just two completions in the first half and 88 total yards. The Bills finished with four sacks, five tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. The Jets did not enter the red zone until their final drive of the game, when most of the defensive starters had substituted out of the game.
Defensive end Joey Bosa recorded a forced fumble for the second straight game. The 2025 free agent signing stormed up the field after Jets quarterback Justin Fields scrambled, punching the ball out where it was secured by defensive end A.J. Epenesa. In the fourth quarter, Bosa forced another fumble, but the Jets recovered the loose ball. Bosa finished with one sack and a tackle for loss.
Cornerback Tre’Davious White made his first appearance since signing with the team over the offseason – his second stint as a member of the Bills. Earning the start, the veteran cornerback finished with three tackles, including a tackle for loss.
Second-year safety Cole Bishop also had a strong performance, leading the team with five total tackles and securing his first career stats.
Last week, the Bills struggled to contain the rushing attack of running back Derrick Henry and the Ravens, allowing 238 yards on the ground. In Week 2, the Bills held the Jets to 100 rushing yards. Running back Breece Hall, who had over 100 yards on the ground in Week 1, was held to just 29 yards on 10 carries.
