Rodgers, capping a well-played half, launched a last-second Hail Mary try that receiver Allen Lazard snatched away from the Buffalo defenders for a 52-yard touchdown grab as time expired in the first half.

It was Rodgers’ fourth successful Hail Mary touchdown pass of his career, and his first with the Jets. The extra point closed Buffalo’s lead to three points, with the Bills ahead, 20-17.

New York will play its first game with Jeff Ulbrich as interim head coach after Robert Saleh was fired earlier this week. Ulbrich announced Thursday that Todd Downing, who had served as the team’s passing game coordinator, would be promoted to caller, replacing Nathaniel Hackett.
