DT Corey Liuget

A backup that certainly had a good game is former first-round pick Corey Liuget on the interior of the Bills’ defensive line. Buffalo still saw some starters in their late in the game because of the rotation Sean McDermott’s defense calls for on the D-line, but in his role, Liuget still mustered up six tackles, leading the Bills, and 2.5 of them were for loss. He helped anchor the Bills’ strong effort on the ground against the Jets, as they were limited to 85 rushing yards. Le’Veon Bell only had 2.6 yards per carry (41 total).

S Jaquan Johnson

One under the radar backup that was impressive was safety Jaquan Johnson. The usual special teamer had three tackles in the game, and had a very impressive interception of Sam Darnold on the sideline. He toe-tapped to record the catch. However, it was called back due to a Kurt Coleman penalty, but let’s not completely forget that great catch.

Stock down

QB Matt Barkley

Backup quarterback Matt Barkley will hopefully do better if ever called upon while playing with starters around him. His backup offensive line wasn’t good, even though he was only dropped one time in the game for a sack. Barkley did make a few good throws in the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late. He had two interceptions and two fumbles, losing one. He also should have had another lost fumble, but upon review, the call was overturned in a very questionable manner.
