The Buffalo Bills scored the game’s only two touchdowns in the fourth quarter on Sunday to put the New York Giants away and take the 14-9 win.

The win, however, nearly fell apart on the final play. After the Giants got all the way down to the one-yard line after drawing a pass interference at the end zone, the Bills broke up a pass on the final untimed down to sneak out the five-point win.

Tyrod Taylor, who was playing for the injured Daniel Jones, went 24-of-36 for 200 yards in the loss for the Giants. Saquon Barkley had 93 rushing yards on 24 carries, and Darius Slayton had 69 receiving yards on four catches. The Giants have now lost four straight and five of six to start the year.

Josh Allen finished throwing 19-of-30 for 169 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the win for Buffalo. James Cook had 71 yards on 14 carries on the ground, and Stefon Diggs had 100 receiving yards on 10 catches.

The New York Jets upset the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles suffered the ugly 20-14 loss against the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. 

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ tossed an interception late in the fourth quarter that set up a go-ahead touchdown by Breece Hall. 

Hurts completed 28 of his 45 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown to D’Andre Swift. He also had a rushing touchdown in the loss. 

Despite playing without three of their top four cornerbacks, the Jets defense showed just how elite it is with the stunning win over the Eagles. The win for the Jets is the team’s first against the Eagles in franchise history. 

With their second consecutive victory, the Jets moved to 3-3 heading into the bye week and knocked the Eagles (5-1) back in a league that has no unbeaten teams.

“It’s a big win,” Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh said. “They’re the NFC Champs. We took the AFC Champs to the wire, we beat Buffalo. Probably let one slip away with the Patriots, but it is what it is. Dallas game is what it is. I think we’ll always be in all these games. I think we can go toe-to-toe with anybody.” 

For the fifth time in six years, the New York Mets are in the market for a manager.

Buck Showalter was fired after a disappointing season in which baseball’s highest-spending team tumbled from contention by midsummer.

The 67-year-old Showalter said before the 2023 finale against Philadelphia that he will not return next year, and a few minutes later the Mets announced the club had decided on the change. 

New York plans to introduce David Stearns as president of baseball operations on Monday, placing him above general manager Billy Eppler. Showalter’s departure with a season remaining on his three-year contract clears the way for Stearns to pick the next manager.

Showalter is 1,726-1,665 (.509) in 22 seasons as a big league manager with the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Orioles and Mets — guiding all those organizations to the playoffs besides Texas.

He’s won four Manager of the Year awards — tied with Hall of Famers Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox for most all-time — and is the only skipper to win the prize with four different teams.
