Aaron Rodgers was knocked out of the game with an Achilles tendon injury just four plays into his debut for the New York Jets, who rallied behind their defense and stunned the Buffalo Bills 22-16 in overtime on Monday night when rookie Xavier Gipson returned a punt 65 yards for the winning score.
New York's aggressive defense forced four turnovers by Buffalo's Josh Allen, including three interceptions by Jordan Whitehead, in a wild and often ugly season opener. While the Jets concluded their night with coach Robert Saleh joining a celebratory mob in the end zone, the injury to Rodgers cast a pall over their season.
But Allen and the Bills had just enough time to get in scoring position again, and Tyler Bass' 50-yard kick hit the left upright before going over the crossbar to tie it at 16-all with 2 seconds left in regulation. Rodgers injured his left ankle when he was sacked by Buffalo’s Leonard Floyd and fell awkwardly on the leg. The Jets said X-rays were negative while ruling him out for the rest of the game.
