Full coverage: Buffalo Bills dominate both sides of the ball in 45-17 blowout of Jets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jordan Poyer looked at his battered hands and nodded as Micah Hyde described the punishment and preparation that led to the biggest turnover of the game.

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis was streaking down the middle of the field and into field goal range, the hosts almost immediately in position to answer a Buffalo Bills touchdown and cut into their deficit before halftime, when Hyde punched the ball loose and recovered the fumble.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Josh Allen destroyed the New York Jets’ defense with first-down, play-action passes Sunday.

Allen completed 8 of 11 attempts for 228 yards on first-down throws when he faked a run, according to Buffalo News charting.

RUNNING GAME: A

Was the lopsided result of Sunday's Buffalo Bills win more a factor of a hungry Super Bowl contender righting the ship after a surprise upset loss, or a dismal football team mucking its way through another discouraging season? 

The New York Jets fell to 2-7 after Buffalo's 45-17 win, a score line that actually looks closer than the game was. New York outscored Buffalo 14-7 in the fourth quarter, with many of the Bills' starters out of the game.

First quarter

Here is what we’re asking ourselves after the Buffalo Bills’ 45-17 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday:

The Jets are bad. Is there much to draw from this blowout?

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott mentioned last week before his team's matchup against the New York Jets that Buffalo had been assigned Scott Novak's referee crew, which had thrown the most flags of any group through eight games.

Oh my. On @WGR550, Sean McDermott says they are "well aware" that the referees (Scott Novak's crew) this week have called the most penalties by far.
