The New York Jets scored their first touchdown in 13 quarters on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, but any additional highlights were few and far between.

The Jets fell behind early and dropped a 32-6 decision on the road in Orchard Park. The offense netted only 155 yards and starting quarterback Zach Wilson was yanked late in the third quarter in favor of backup Tim Boyle.

“I don’t think anyone did anything today: Players, coaches, schemes. It was obviously not good enough. None of it was good enough,” said Jets’ third-year head coach Robert Saleh.

Prior to the benching, Wilson went 7-of-15 passing for 81 yards. He suffered five sacks.

Boyle wasn’t any more effective than Wilson, totaling 33 pass yards on 14 attempts. As a team, including an 18-yard completion by punter Thomas Morstead, the Jets averaged 4.4 yards per pass for the game. Gang Green was successful on 0 of 11 third down attempts.

Whenever the New York Giants and Washington Commanders face off, the Giants have a chance to win. In this game, the Giants rode six Washington turnovers and a great game from QB Tommy DeVito to a 31-19 victory.

Tommy DeVito slung the ball over the field, including three touchdown tosses and a host of big-time throws. What made his performance that much more impressive was the fact that DeVito was sacked nine times. Still, the 6-foot-2, 209-pound quarterback shook off the blows to post one of the most effective performances by a Giants passer this season.

The Giants utilized Saquon Barkley in the passing game more than they’ve done all season, with strong results. The running back caught four balls for 57 yards and two scores.

For Washington, Sam Howell went 31-for-45 for 245 yards with a passing score, a rushing touchdown, three interceptions, and a 62.7 passer rating. 

The Giants are now 3-8. Washington is 4-7.

NEW YORK — Howard Johnson and Al Leiter were inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame prior to the team’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Johnson played for New York from 1985 through 1993. He ranks third in team history with 202 stolen bases and fourth in homers (192) and RBIs (629). Leiter grew up a Mets fan in New Jersey before pitching for the team from 1998 through 2004.

The 62-year-old Johnson played his first big league game in 1982 for the Detroit Tigers and his last one with the Chicago Cubs in 1995.

Johnson and Leiter were joined in the 2023 class by broadcasters Gary Cohen and Howie Rose, who have called the team’s games on radio and television since 1989 and 1995, respectively. Longtime media relations executive Jay Horwitz also was honored with a Hall of Fame achievement award.

Johnson had three seasons with the Mets with at least 30 homers and 30 steals, fourth-most all time behind Bobby Bonds, Barry Bonds and Alfonso Soriano.

Leiter ranks sixth on the team lists for wins (95) and starts (213) and eighth in strikeouts (1,106). He started Games 1 and 5 of the 2000 Subway Series, throwing 142 pitches in the latter game and taking the loss when Luis Sojo hit a two-run single in the eighth inning to give the Yankees their third straight championship.

The Las Vegas Raiders, thanks to a late interception from Robert Spillane in the red zone, beat the New York Jets 16-12 in their “Sunday Night Football” matchup at Allegiant Stadium.

With the Jets driving and seemingly poised to score a game-winning touchdown, Spillane intercepted Zach Wilson and ran it back 25 yards. That sealed the four-point win for Las Vegas.

Neither team found the end zone until the first few moments of the fourth quarter, which made for a very slow start in Las Vegas. After six combined field goals, rookie Aidan O’Connell hit tight end Michael Mayer for a 7-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone to finally push the Raiders ahead.

Wilson went 23-for-38 for 263 yards with an interception in the loss for the Jets. Wilson was their leading rusher, too, with 54 yards on four carries. Garrett Wilson had 93 receiving yards on nine catches.

O’Connell went 16-of-27 for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the win for the Raiders. Josh Jacobs had 116 rushing yards on 27 carries, and Davante Adams had 86 yards on six catches.

The New York Giants suffered yet another embarrassing loss on Sunday in what has become a season filled with them, this one to the Dallas Cowboys by a 49-17 score.

The Giants were blown out by halftime, trailing 28-0. In that first half, Dallas had 368 total yards of offense to 27 for the Giants, who had undrafted Tommy DeVito making his first career start at quarterback.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott completed 26 of 35 passes for 404 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. Backup Cooper Rush played the fourth quarter. The Cowboys compiled 640 yards of offense to 172 for the Giants.

Dallas outscored the Giants 89-17 in their two meetings this season.

The Giants are now No. 2 in the 2024 NFL Draft order.

The Los Angeles Chargers shut down Zach Wilson and the New York Jets to grab a 27-6 win at MetLife Stadium on Monday night. That win snapped a three-game win streak by the Jets, and brought the Chargers back to 4-4 on the season after a rough start to the year.

The Chargers scored twice right out of the gate to build up a 14-0 lead  in the opening quarter, which was enough to lead them to the 21-point win. Derius Davis ran back a punt return 87 yards for a touchdown to get the night started not even two minutes into the game.

The Jets offense, meanwhile, wasn’t doing much of anything. They settled for just two field goals on the night, and couldn’t get down the field at all. The one time they mounted a very promising drive, Wilson was sacked twice and the Jets had to settle for a 46-yard field goal in the third quarter.

Justin Herbert went 16-of-30 for 136 yards for the Chargers. Keenan Allen had 77 yards on eight receptions.Allen surpassed 10,000 career receiving yards in the win, too, and had a ridiculous grab in what was easily the highlight of the night.

Wilson went 33-of-49 for 263 yards in the loss for the Jets. Breece Hall ran for 50 yards on 16 carries, and Garrett Wilson had 80 yards on seven receptions.

The Giants’ ugly 30-6 loss to the Raiders could have massive ramifications, as Daniel Jones, Evan Neal, Jalin Hyatt and Micah McFadden all left with injuries or were examined by trainers during the  game.

Jones’ absence would be the most costly one, as the Giants fell to 2-7 and slipped further away from any postseason hope. Tommy DeVito completed 15-of-20 passes for 175 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions after replacing Jones. Saquon Barkley rushed for 90 yards on 16 carries.

The Raiders, though, earned a win in Antonio Pierce’s debut as interim head coach, with Josh Jacobs scoring two touchdowns while quarterback Aidan O’Connell — taking over for the benched Jimmy Garoppolo — sparked an offense that’d been stagnant for most of the season. They moved to 4-5 in a competitive AFC.
