In the New York Jets’ 17th and final game of the 2021 season, on a cold and blustery day in Orchard Park, New York, the New York Jets were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 27 – 10.

The Jets quickly fell behind 10 – 0 as the Bills dominated in every facet of the game. However, after the opening two drives the Jets defense settled in and started to shut down the Bills offense.

A 40 yard Zach Wilson touchdown pass to Keelan Cole brought the Jets to within three points at 10 – 7 late in the second half.

After being held to three total points in the second and third quarters the Bills offense finally broke through with a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. That gave the Bills a two score lead at 20 – 10, and with the Jets offense struggling to get any positive yardage against the best defense in the NFL, a valiant Jets effort looked like it would fall short.

On their next possession the Bills punched in another touchdown with under four minutes to play for a 27 – 10 lead and the game was basically over.

With the loss the Jets finish the season at 4-13 in head coach Robert Saleh’s rookie season.

The New York Giants fell, 22-7, to the Washington Football Team in their regular season finale at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Washington improved to 7-10 on the season, while New York ended the 2021 season with a 4-13 mark. This is just the second 13-loss season in Giants history and the sixth-straight game in which the Giants lost by 10 or more points.

The Giants are now 10-23 under Joe Judge, 19-46 under Dave Gettleman, 22-59 since their last winning season (2016) and 61-100 since their last Super Bowl championship.

The Giants’ lack of faith in the offense was on full display at the end of the first half. On second-and-11 from the two-yard line, the Giants had Jake Fromm run a QB sneak up the middle. On third-and-9 on the following play from the four-yard line, the Giants called for the sneak again, failed to convert and promptly punted the ball.

Gerard Gallant recently acknowledged just how much more familiar he is with his Rangers players after the first quarter of his first season with the club, but the one skater the head coach has been sure about how to use since Day 1 is Barclay Goodrow.

When the Rangers need a boost or to change things up, like they did in the 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning on Friday night, Gallant has taken to plugging Goodrow throughout the forward lines wherever he sees fit.

That’s exactly what Gallant did in the first game of the home-and-home series with Tampa Bay on Friday — and it paid off.

After flipping Goodrow to the second line with Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome and bumping Dryden Hunt early in the middle frame, the Rangers got a big-time goal from Goodrow and that new unit in the third period to take a 3-2 lead.

Strome won the faceoff and Goodrow cut to the net, as did the Rangers’ second-line center. Panarin then made a deceiving backhanded pass at the top of the zone to K’Andre Miller, who put it on net for Goodrow to tip in at 13:35.
