Aaron Rodgers did what Aaron Rodgers has done three other times. He threw a Hail Mary touchdown. Allen Lazard caught the 52-yard pass in the end zone with Taylor Rapp, Taron Johnson and Damar Hamlin surrounding him as he high-pointed the ball on the final play of the first half Monday night.
The miracle throw and catch cut the Bills’ lead to 20-17 at halftime.
The Bills otherwise dominated the first half, gaining 217 yards, as Josh Allen contributed three total touchdowns .
Allen went 10-of-12 for 112 yards and two touchdowns, both on third-down throws. Mack Hollins caught an 8-yard touchdown and Dawson Knox a 12-yarder. Allen also had a 1-yard touchdown run.

The big play at the end of the half gave the Jets 225 yards at halftime, and they looked like a different offense with Todd Downing calling the plays.
