A. . . . Secondary

The secondary forced and recovered two fumbles on defense and did a solid job in coverage which allowed the Jets front seven to aggressively blitz Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The fact the Bowles is being more aggressive with the blitzing shows that he trusts this secondary in coverage.

Jamal Adams made a heads up play forcing and recovering a fumble on defense.

Like Adams, Justin Burris also forced and recovered a fumble on defense.

The team did allow 285 yards passing, but like I said earlier most of this yardage came in garbage time. This team needs to finish games and it was concerning they allowed the Bills to drive down the field on their last two drives.

Overall, this was a solid game from the secondary and it looks like Bowles now finally trusts this unit enough to be in one on one man coverage so that he can blitz with the front seven.
