Monday’s Jets-Bills clash was billed as a titanic quarterback showdown between Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen. Neither side lived up to the hype, for very different reasons. Allen’s poor outing—and the Jets’ consequent 22–16 win—has one New York-based media personality making some pretty wild statements about the two teams’ quarterback situations.
Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles tendon just four snaps into his Jets tenure, knocking him out for the season. The injury is a devastating blow for the four-time MVP and a team that had Super Bowl expectations with the 39-year-old at the helm.
Allen, meanwhile, emerged from the game healthy, but played well below his own MVP-level standards. He completed 29 of 41 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown pass and three interceptions, and he lost one of his two fumbles.
