THE READ
Bills run away with it, 45-7

Buffalo dismantled New York 45-7, a margin that understates the performance gap. Josh Allen completed 15 of 31 for 326 yards and 4 touchdowns while Nyck Harbor caught 6 passes for 202 yards and 3 scores, the only two names that mattered on either side. The Jets managed 196 total yards, 24 on the ground, and coughed up 6 turnovers to Buffalo's 2, which is the entire explanation for why one team is 3-0 and the other is 1-2.

THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Bills +3.6 -3.7 +7.2 +2
Jets -18.4 +5.4 -23.8 -8
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Nicole Santos Beat reporter
Buffalo ran the game away from start to finish. Nyck Harbor put 202 yards and 3 touchdowns on New York, and the Jets could not answer—they turned the ball over 6 times and managed just 24 rushing yards, which is not a problem you solve in one afternoon.
Caleb Brooks Beat reporter · replying
Buffalo got away with 2 turnovers to New York's 6, but here's the thing: they didn't need ball security to win this one. The Jets threw 25 passes and ran 14 times down 38 points—that's desperation playcalling against a team that was already playing loose. Buffalo was just better.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
