Overview
- The Bills led the Jets 10-6 at halftime of their Week 10 game at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, with Josh Allen scoring a rushing touchdown and James Cook piling up early rushing yards.
- Late in the first half Geno Smith took a heavy hit and was evaluated for a concussion, which briefly removed him from the game and opened the door for rookie Cade Klubnik to make his first NFL series.
- The Jets later announced Smith cleared concussion protocol and returned, but he left again with an ankle issue and was listed questionable to return, creating repeated quarterback changes that disrupted New York’s offensive flow.
- Buffalo’s offense, led by Allen and a workhorse James Cook (814 rushing yards on the season), was positioned to exploit a Jets run defense that has recently surrendered large rushing totals.
- The game’s developments keep Buffalo atop the AFC East and underline short-term risks for the Jets, who now face uncertainty at quarterback and a tougher path to stop the Bills’ balanced attack.
