The Buffalo Bills stayed unbeaten with a dominant 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, moving to 2-0 while dropping their AFC East rival to 0-2.
Running back James Cook powered Buffalo’s offense with 21 carries for 132 yards and two touchdowns, including a 44-yard burst in the second quarter that stretched the lead to 20-0.
Josh Allen added 59 rushing yards on six carries and completed 14-of-25 passes for 148 yards before giving way to backup Mitchell Trubisky late in the fourth quarter.
Elijah Moore capped Buffalo’s scoring with a four-yard touchdown run early in the final period. Kicker Matt Prater chipped in three field goals, highlighted by a 52-yarder.

Defensive end Joey Bosa forced a fumble for the second straight game, while Tre’Davious White and Cole Bishop led a secondary that kept New York’s passing attack quiet.
