It was up to the Jets' defense to step up after veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles four snaps into the match, and former FSU star Jermaine Johnson seized the moment with a fourth-quarter sack on Bills QB Josh Allen jumpstarting a come-from-behind victory in MetLife Stadium.

Johnson finished the night with five tackles to add to the sack, starting his second season in New York with a bang. The former All-American finished the 2022 season with 29 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a blocked punt safety in his rookie year after being taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Jets could have a tough road ahead after losing Rodgers and are now set to face Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on the road who are coming off a 40-0 victory over the New York Giants.
