In the end, the Bills offense still produced 422 total yards, 368 of which game from Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen (307 passing and 61 rushing). They couldn\u2019t contain Buffalo slot receiver Cole Beasley, who bled them out with paper cuts \u2014 11 catches for 112 yards \u2014 when they tried to get off the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA couple plays here or there we\u2019ve got to make that would change the outcome of this game,\u2019\u2019 Basham said. \u201cBut how we played, I liked.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So, too, did head coach Adam Gase, who said, \u201cDefensively, I thought there was a lot of good there.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, for all the good the Jets defense did, the Bills offense wasn\u2019t exactly crisp.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter, trailing 10-6, the Bills had a first down at the Jets 20, lost 11 yards on a first-down run and then committed a false-start penalty to push themselves back further before settling on the field goal to make it 10-9.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the third, an Allen TD pass to Gabriel Davis was called back because of an illegal-formation penalty and had to settle for a field goal and a 12-10 lead.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, a blown coverage leaving tight end Tyler Kroft completely uncovered resulted in a 38-yard gain to the Jets 20, but the Buffalo drive stalled, leaving them with a 37-yard field-goal attempt that Bass missed.<\/p>\n<p>So, the Buffalo offense did its part to stall those drives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt like we let a couple plays get out in the second half, but we held them to field goals,\u2019\u2019 Williamson said. \u201cI wish we could have held them to nothing.
