Buffalo falls to Jets; Green Bay is still in crisis

Every result in the NFL is fought to the max and shows the losses of the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers when the opposite was expected on paper. The best defense of the season fell to the Jets while one of the teams with the worst record, the Detroit Lions, added a victory against a team in crisis.

In one of the most attractive games facing the best teams in the eastern zone in the American Conference, a duel with enough parity was expected and it was. The New York team, which does not have such an outstanding offense, did enough to beat the team that has defended the best for a couple of seasons to date and did so with a score of 20-17.

A field goal in the fourth quarter ended up making the difference in a game where the Buffalo team could not face the Jets’ defense. As if this were not enough, the alarms went off in the Bills due to the state of health of their star player Josh Allen, since the quarterback seemed to hurt his arm in the last minutes of the game, it was also the first game where he finished without scoring passes.

Despite the loss, the Bills remain at the top of their zone, however, one more slip could mean that the Jets surpass them, since both have six wins and the New York franchise only has one more loss than the rivals that they just won at MetLife Stadium.

The Packers’ crisis has already reached its deepest point in the loss against Detroit, which meant the fifth in a row for Aaron Rodgers and company. For their part, the Lions just added their second victory of the season after a great first half where they shut out Green Bay and went ahead by eight points.

The quarterback of the Wisconsin team was one of those pointed out in the match for not being able to be the key piece they needed to turn the score around against one of the worst franchises in the NFL, which ended up intercepting him three times during the match. It is the fifth game in which the Packers have fallen below 20 points, a reflection of the bad moment their offense is experiencing in the campaign

With already six losses and a negative record, the Packers are moving away from the Vikings who have done a great job accumulating six wins and one loss to take over the lead in the North zone of the National Conference.
