Geno Smith sat out the opening kickoff of the second half but is back for Sunday’s game against the Bills.
Smith was credited with a concussion after taking a big hit late in the second quarter, and rookie Cade Klubnik led the Jets to a field goal in his first regular season action. Smith was allowed to return before the Jets got the ball back and drove down the field with just over seven minutes to play in the third quarter.
Jason Sanders’ third field goal of the day cut Buffalo’s lead to 10-9, but Josh Allen hit Dalton Kincaid for a 54-yard gain on Buffalo’s first offensive play and the quarterback had his second one-yard run of the afternoon a few plays later.
That pushed the lead to 17-9 before Smith’s return and the Jets veteran will now try to mount a comeback.
