Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets fall to Buffalo Bills in first game since firing head coach despite Hail Mary touchdown

CNN

CNN — The Buffalo Bills overcame an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary touchdown pass at the end of the first half to edge past the New York Jets 23-20 in a penalty-filled victory on Monday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was the Jets’ first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich named interim coach, while the franchise also demoted offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett from play-calling duties in favor of Todd Downing. New York’s advantage was short-lived though as Allen completed long drives with touchdown passes to receiver Mack Hollins and tight end Dawson Knox in the second quarter as Buffalo came racing back. With mere seconds left to play in the first half, the four-time NFL MVP launched a prayer towards the end zone from near the 50-yard line, where Allen Lazard emerged over two Bills defenders to haul in the 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown.
