ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Let’s pick an adjective to describe the Jets’ 40-14 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

One could call it pitiful.

You might be embarrassed.

You could continue with humiliation.

You could do all of this and still not grasp how terrible this loss was.

This looked like the varsity was playing the JV. The Bills showed they were the class of the AFC East and perhaps the entire AFC, while the Jets looked like they would struggle in the SEC.

The Jets lost by 26 points and it wasn’t even that close.

The only good news for the Jets is that there is only one game left in the season and it was just a short plane ride home. The Jets didn’t do anything good in this game. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions and was sacked four times, including once for a safety. He only threw for 112 yards. Things got so bad that Rodgers was subbed for Tyrod Taylor in the fourth quarter. The offense couldn’t get into the end zone until Taylor threw a touchdown to Garrett Wilson.

The defense was no match for Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense as they scored five touchdowns. The Bills scored 28 points in the second half.

The Jets continued to be the most undisciplined team you’ve ever seen. They had 16 accepted penalties for 120 yards. Five of those penalties were personal fouls for unnecessary roughness.

The Bills opened the game with a 12-play, 70-yard drive that was aided by three Jets penalties. Allen rushed from the 1-yard line for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. The touchdown was preceded by a pass interference penalty against Sauce Gardner in the end zone, which put the ball at the 1. DJ Reed called a hands-to-face penalty early in the drive, turning a third-and-17 for the Bills into a first down.

The Jets got the ball to the Bills’ 6 on their first drive, but a holding penalty took them back to the 34, and then they were stuffed from the 24 on 4th-and-1 when Braelon Allen was stopped for no gain.

The Jets made another trip to the red zone midway through the second quarter, reaching the Buffalo 12. Rodgers then threw his ninth interception of the season. He tried to throw a quick pass to Davante Adams, and Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau deflected it into the air and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips caught it for the pick, ending the Jets’ hopes of scoring destroyed again.

The Bills increased their lead on defense when defensive end AJ Epenesa flew past left tackle Max Mitchell and sacked Rodgers in the end zone for a safety with 2:31 left in the first half :0 to take the lead.

Buffalo converted a 39-yard field goal from Tyler Bass at the end of the half to increase the lead to 12-0 at halftime.

The Jets had some hope again in the second half after gaining good field position at the Bills’ 45. But the drive ended with Rodgers’ second interception of the game and 10^Th of the season. This one from Bills cornerback Christian Benford. To add insult to injury to the interception, Rodgers was then penalized for hitting Benford out of bounds after 24 yards.

The Bills turned the takeaway into a touchdown with Allen throwing a 30-yard touchdown to Amari Cooper, who made an acrobatic catch. With that score, the Bills led 19-0 with 5:13 left in the third quarter.

Running back James Cook then scored first late in the third quarter, extending the lead to 26-0.

The humiliation kept coming when Garrett Wilson fumbled at the Jets 20 and Bills linebacker Matt Milano recovered it. Allen found Keon Coleman for a 14-yard touchdown on a play with all day to increase the embarrassment to 33-0.

The score rose to 40-0 when Bills backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky threw a short pass to practice squad receiver Tyrell Shavers, who traveled 69 yards for another touchdown.

With the game out of reach, Taylor replaced Rodgers in the fourth quarter and led two touchdown drives to avoid the shutout.
