Stefon Diggs sparks the Buffalo Bills offense before halftime-

After two scoring drives to start the game, the Buffalo Bills offense became stagnant and couldn’t get much going. The Jets would get their first points of the game towards the end of the second quarter to cut the Bills lead to 10-3.

However, the Bills got the ball back just under two minutes and that is when Stefon Diggs went to work. The big play was a 57-yard reception and after two incompletions towards Diggs, Josh Allen connects with his top receiver for a 12-yard touchdown.

This continued into the second half and Diggs had his best game of the season with eight receptions, 162 yards and one touchdown.

Another turnover before the half- For the third straight week, the Buffalo Bills force a turnover right before halftime with the opponent in scoring range. In Week 8, it was a botched snap in the red zone that Micah Hyde recovered, then last week against the Jaguars it was another fumble in red zone that was recovered by Levi Wallace.

This week, Mike White finds Corey Davis for a long pass that Micah Hyde is able to force and recover a fumble as they were entering field goal range. These type of momentum swings have been huge for the Bills either propelling them to a win or keeping the game within reach.

Ed Oliver plays great in first half against the Jets- On the defensive side of the ball, one of the standouts in the first half was defensive tackle Ed Oliver. This was going to be a pivotal season for the former first round pick and these were the games they envisioned when they selected him in the 2019 NFL Draft.

He was regularly in the backfield, putting pressure on quarterback Mike White with three QB hits in the first half. He also had one pass defended. The Jets really didn’t have any answer for Oliver in Week 10.
