The Jets’ slogan for this season is “Take Flight.” On Sunday, they failed to leave the runway.
Gang Green blew a 16-point second-half lead and lost 17-16 to the Bills to open the season 0-1. New coach Adam Gase lost his debut as he watched his offense sputter for most of the day, his defense collapse late and his kicker stink like last week’s leftovers.
The Jets forced four takeaways in the first half from Bills quarterback Josh Allen, but still led only 6-0 at halftime. Buffalo then crept back into the game and stole one from its AFC East rivals.
