Oct. 15 (UPI) — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers criticized officials after a loss to the Buffalo Bills, referring to their decisions, including a tightening of the passer penalty from which he took advantage, as “really bad” and “kind of ridiculous.”

Rodgers addressed the referee during a post-game press conference following Monday’s 23-20 setback at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The veteran play-caller completed 23 of 35 passes for 294 yards, two scores and an interception.

The Jets (2-4) were penalized 11 times for 110 yards. The Bills totaled 11 penalties for 94 yards. These 22 penalties were the most for a match this season.

“It seemed a little ridiculous,” Rodgers said. “Some of it seemed really bad, including roughing the passer on me (by Bills defensive end AJ Epenesa). That’s not roughing the passer.”

Rodgers also said a fourth-quarter passer penalty on Jets defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw should not have been called. He also criticized another penalty in the third quarter that canceled out a touchdown by Jets running back Braelon Allen.

That 4-yard scoring run, which would have given the Jets a 26-20 lead, was called back due to a holding call on offensive tackle Tyron Smith. Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein then missed a 32-yard field goal two plays later.

“We had chances,” Rodgers said. “We had a walk-in touchdown with Braelon and we had a phantom guard call. We had two chances with ‘G’ (wide receiver Garrett Wilson). We had our chances.”

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said he plans to review the film of the loss and address the player discipline issues that led to some of the penalties.

“It wasn’t good enough that way,” Ulbrich said.

The Jets, who fired former head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8, were 2-1 through their first three games. They are now on a three-game losing streak. The Jets have the No. 2 defense in the NFL in yards allowed. They have offense #22.

They outgained the Bills 393 to 359 in total yards in Monday’s loss.

“This was a golden opportunity,” Rodgers said. “Some games you win in the NFL, and some games you give away. This was a giveaway.”

Rodgers, who is dealing with an ankle injury, said he felt “pretty banged up” on Monday night but plans to “buckle back up next week.”

The Jets face the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) on Sunday at 8:20 PM EDT in Pittsburgh.
