The Buffalo Bills scored the game’s only two touchdowns in the fourth quarter on Sunday to put the New York Giants away and take the 14-9 win.

The win, however, nearly fell apart on the final play. After the Giants got all the way down to the one-yard line after drawing a pass interference at the end zone, the Bills broke up a pass on the final untimed down to sneak out the five-point win.

Tyrod Taylor, who was playing for the injured Daniel Jones, went 24-of-36 for 200 yards in the loss for the Giants. Saquon Barkley had 93 rushing yards on 24 carries, and Darius Slayton had 69 receiving yards on four catches. The Giants have now lost four straight and five of six to start the year.

Josh Allen finished throwing 19-of-30 for 169 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the win for Buffalo. James Cook had 71 yards on 14 carries on the ground, and Stefon Diggs had 100 receiving yards on 10 catches.

For the fifth time in six years, the New York Mets are in the market for a manager.

Buck Showalter was fired after a disappointing season in which baseball’s highest-spending team tumbled from contention by midsummer.

The 67-year-old Showalter said before the 2023 finale against Philadelphia that he will not return next year, and a few minutes later the Mets announced the club had decided on the change. 

New York plans to introduce David Stearns as president of baseball operations on Monday, placing him above general manager Billy Eppler. Showalter’s departure with a season remaining on his three-year contract clears the way for Stearns to pick the next manager.

Showalter is 1,726-1,665 (.509) in 22 seasons as a big league manager with the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Orioles and Mets — guiding all those organizations to the playoffs besides Texas.

He’s won four Manager of the Year awards — tied with Hall of Famers Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox for most all-time — and is the only skipper to win the prize with four different teams.

The New York Jets upset the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles suffered the ugly 20-14 loss against the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. 

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ tossed an interception late in the fourth quarter that set up a go-ahead touchdown by Breece Hall. 

Hurts completed 28 of his 45 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown to D’Andre Swift. He also had a rushing touchdown in the loss. 

Despite playing without three of their top four cornerbacks, the Jets defense showed just how elite it is with the stunning win over the Eagles. The win for the Jets is the team’s first against the Eagles in franchise history. 

With their second consecutive victory, the Jets moved to 3-3 heading into the bye week and knocked the Eagles (5-1) back in a league that has no unbeaten teams.

“It’s a big win,” Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh said. “They’re the NFC Champs. We took the AFC Champs to the wire, we beat Buffalo. Probably let one slip away with the Patriots, but it is what it is. Dallas game is what it is. I think we’ll always be in all these games. I think we can go toe-to-toe with anybody.” 

The New York Giants fell to 1-4 on Sunday with a 31-16 loss to the 4-1 Miami Dolphins. 

The Giants also lost quarterback Daniel Jones to a neck injury when he was sacked by Andrew Van Ginkel in the fourth quarter. That was the sixth time Jones was sacked on Sunday and the 28th time this season. 

Coach Brian Daboll said Jones was “getting hit quite a bit.” Daboll did add that Jones told him he would be “OK.”

“Overall we’ve gotta do a better job offensively,” Daboll said. “We’re not doing a good enough job.”

The Dolphins scored touchdowns of 76 and 69 yards en route to compiling 524 yards of total offense. Miami now has 2,568 total yards of offense in five games, most in NFL history.

The Giants still don’t have an offensive touchdown in the first half of games this season, but they do have a touchdown thanks to Jason Pinnock’s 102-yard score on an interception return. The Giants still trailed at the half, 17-10. They have been outscored 94-19 in the first half of games this season, with four Graham Gano field goals being their only offensive points.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared on ESPN with Pat McAfee after undergoing surgery to repair his torn Achilles tendon.

In the interview, Rodgers addressed his future by saying, “Give me the timetables, give me all the things you think can should or will happen. All I need is that one extra percent of motivation. So give me your doubts, your prognostications, then watch what I do.”

Rodgers would not rule out returning this season, saying “anything is possible” when asked directly about the possibility.

Rodgers’ hopes fly in the face of medical reality with an eight-to-12 month timeline expected for recovery.

He called Monday “one of the toughest 24-hour stretches in my life” with a “lot of sadness, a lot of tears.”

Rodgers went down after four offensive snaps into the season-opening 22-16 overtime win vs. the Buffalo Bills.

Rodgers, 39, thanked those who had reached out to him following the injury and hinted he will be back, posting “The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.”
