Instead, the Jets’ defense, young receivers and a castaway quarterback, with help from four turnovers from the Bills’ Josh Allen, fueled a 22-16 comeback, overtime win.
On the Jets’ third official offensive play of the game, left tackle Duane Brown missed a block against Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd.
Rodgers tried to escape, but Floyd sacked Rodgers, rolling the quarterback’s legs as they both went to the ground.
Rodgers stood up, then sat back down before walking to the sideline with help from Jets medical staff.
Rodgers was transported to the locker room on a cart and did not return after officially being ruled out with an ankle injury.
