In a decisive victory, the Buffalo Bills secured the AFC’s No. 2 seed by overwhelming the New York Jets 40-14, thanks in large part to Josh Allen’s stellar performance. Allen threw two touchdown passes and added a rushing score, completing 16 of 27 attempts for 182 yards. His touchdowns included a 30-yard pass to Amari Cooper and a 14-yarder to Keon Coleman. With this win, Allen also matched Peyton Manning for the third-most two-TD games in the first seven seasons of a player’s career, achieving his 64th such game.

The Bills capitalized on Jets turnovers, scoring three touchdowns within a five-minute span late in the third quarter. The defense was relentless, forcing three turnovers and sacking Aaron Rodgers four times, including a safety. Backup Mitchell Trubisky added to the score with a 69-yard touchdown pass to Tyrell Shavers in the fourth quarter.

Despite the loss, the Jets' quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, aimed for his 500th career touchdown but struggled, finishing with only 112 yards and two interceptions before being replaced. The Jets' discipline issues were apparent as they racked up 16 penalties for 120 yards, leading to their disappointing finish to the season. With this victory, the Bills improved to 13-3, matching a franchise record for wins in a season and setting the stage for their playoff run.
