Instead, like so many other Gang Green games of the past generations, they bungled the opportunity, falling <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/games\/bills-at-jets-2024-reg-6\">23-20<\/a> in a mistake-filling match at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;This was a golden opportunity,&#8221; quarterback <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/aaron-rodgers\/\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a> said <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jets-bills-rodgers-ulbrich-0a14afca36a55c2cbb0f9aa35c3a7855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via the Associated Press<\/a>. &#8220;Some games you win in the NFL and some games you give away. This was a giveaway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Jets got behind in the second quarter behind a defense gorged by the Bills running game, allowing Buffalo three scoring drives of 70-plus yards in the first half. A Rodgers Hail Mary prayer was answered to close the quarter, pulling the Jets to 20-17.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>A first-drive Jets field goal in the third quarter tied the game at 20, and the clubs traded errors the entire second half. Buffalo finally broke through with a late three-pointer, and Gang Green gagged on chances to pull ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;We were terrible in the red zone,&#8221; Rodgers said. &#8220;We missed two field goals. We didn&#8217;t convert on a 2-minute drive. We had plenty of chances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The game essentially ended on a Rogers interception following the two-minute warning on a play in which receiver <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/mike-williams\/\">Mike Williams<\/a> got open but slipped adjusting to the ball, allowing Bills&#8217; <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/taron-johnson\/\">Taron Johnson<\/a> to make a diving pick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s frustrating,&#8221; Rodgers said. &#8220;I&#8217;m here to win those games, but we&#8217;ve got to be on our details. It&#8217;s little things every single time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Jets moved the ball under new play-caller Todd Downing, never going three-and-out, putting up 393 yards. Rodgers finished 23 of 35 for 294 yards with two touchdowns and the INT. <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/breece-hall\/\">Breece Hall<\/a> ran for 113 yards and had 56 receiving. <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/garrett-wilson\/\">Garrett Wilson<\/a> had eight catches for 107 yards, and <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/allen-lazard\/\">Allen Lazard<\/a> had six receptions \u2013 including the Hail Mary grab \u2013 for 114 yards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>The Jets had multiple receivers with 100-plus receiving yards and a rusher with 100-plus rushing yards for the first time since Week 2, 2016, versus the Bills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;I thought we were going to have a big night on offense,&#8221; Rodgers said. &#8220;It should&#8217;ve been a 30-plus point game on offense and this shouldn&#8217;t even be a conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>Instead, the second-half drives stalled, and <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/greg-zuerlein\/\">Greg Zuerlein<\/a> hit the upright on two kicks, sealing the Jets&#8217; fate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>Rodgers decried the penalty-filled contest, which saw each club generate 11 accepted flags, combining for 204 penalty yards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;It seemed a little ridiculous,&#8221; Rodgers said of the officiating. &#8220;Some of [the calls] seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me [by <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/a-j-epenesa\/\">AJ Epenesa<\/a>]. That&#8217;s not roughing the passer. You might as well play Sarcastaball [referencing the TV show <em>South Park<\/em>] if we&#8217;re going to call those things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>With a chance to take over the AFC East lead under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, the Same Ol&#8217; Jets showed up. Gang Green lost their third consecutive game, falling to 2-4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;We are by no means out of this thing. By no means,&#8221; Ulbrich said. &#8220;I know the character of that locker room. I know the way we will respond. &#8230; We have to start stacking these weeks of exceptional preparation. I promise you it will start to pay off on Sundays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>With another primetime game on tap &#8212; in Pittsburgh against the 4-2 Steelers &#8212; in Week 7, Ulbrich needs his crew to respond quickly before things get darker in N.Y.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/aaron-rodgers-laments-jets-missed-golden-opportunity-in-giveaway-loss-to-bills\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Jets had oodles of chances to pull off the Monday night win over the Buffalo Bills.
