Bills finally punch in touchdown vs. Jets with James Cook (video)

#Bills finally punch in touchdown vs. #Jets with James Cook (video):

Thanks to some help from the defense, the Bills finally punched in a touchdown against the Jets in Week 11.

After settling for three-straight field goals against the stout defense of the Jets, the Bills scored on a five-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh Allen to running back James Cook who was wide open to the right.

Doing a bulk of the work was Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas. His interception put the team in prime position to cash in a touchdown and they did just that.

Cook’s touchdown catch can be found below:

PFF ranks Sauce Gardner as No. 1 cornerback in NFL

Hard to think of anyone else for the top spot.

Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner quickly made a name for himself as a rookie and is already considered among the best at the position across the entire NFL. For some, he is the best.

That includes Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus, who recently ranked his top 32 cornerbacks in the league. No. 1 on his list? You guessed it, it’s the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year and 2022 All-Pro.

“Gardner hit the ground running in the NFL and was the best cornerback in the game during his rookie season,” wrote Monson. “He allowed a 53.9 passer rating, and just 45.9% of passes thrown into his coverage were caught by their intended receiver. We know coverage in general, and cornerback play in particular, is highly volatile, so Gardner could regress in 2023. But there is no obvious lockdown cornerback who belongs atop this list in his place.”

It’s early, but the Jets really may have found their next Darrelle Revis. But preferably, they found their Sauce Gardner.

Jets vs. Bills final injury report: Micheal Clemons (questionable) only player with game designation

Only Micheal Clemons is questionable for Sunday

As far as active players go, the Jets’ final injury report is about as clean as it can be, especially for Week 14.

The Jets only gave one player a game designation for Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. In fact, only one player even remained on the injury report after Friday’s practice. That player was Micheal Clemons, who wound up missing all week of practice with the flu. He is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Everyone else — including Duane Brown, Ashtyn Davis, Corey Davis, George Fant, Lamarcus Joyner and DJ Reed — practiced in full Friday. All the players mentioned began the week on the injury report but were taken off the report Friday.

For the Bills, two key players will miss Sunday. Fullback Reggie Gilliam (ankle) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (shoulder) have been ruled out after missing practice all week.

Two other key players for the Bills are questionable but did trend in the right direction Friday. Offensive tackle Dion Dawkins (ankle) practiced in full Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday while linebacker Matt Milano is questionable with a knee injury but was upgraded to a limited practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday’s practices.
