Three stats to know, and more, following the Jets' 40-14 loss at Buffalo on Sunday afternoon:

How Do You Spell Relief? T-Y-R-O-D
When Tyrod Taylor comes into a game, he produces. In only his second appearance as the Jets' backup QB this season, he led the offense to its only 2 touchdowns vs. the Bills, on TD passes to Garrett Wilson and Tyler Conklin. It's Taylor's first game with 2 TD passes since leading the Giants over Washington at MetLife last year. His last 2-TD-pass game before that was with the Texans in a 21-14 loss to the Jets in 2021. The second time before that, his two TD throws came for the Bills in a loss at the Jets in 2017.

Backup duty doesn't come with the same trials and tribulations as starter status, but Taylor's numbers this season still are impeccable. His passer rating is 128.6 on 17-of-27 passing for 119 yards, 3 TD passes, no INTs and no sacks. And his drive production is perfect: 3 possessions, average drives of 11.0 plays and 67.7 yards, and 3 touchdowns.

If Taylor doesn't play in the finale vs. the 'Fins, or does play and directs the Jets to a TD on every drive he's on the field, he would be the first NFL quarterback, starter or backup, since 1997 when we started charting all QBs' drives, to have 2-plus TDs and a 1.000 TD drive rate.

More to the Sack Story
Aaron Rodgers was well aware of the sack record he set Sunday. He entered the game one behind Tom Brady for the most times sacked in the regular season in an NFL career since 1982 by a count of 568-565. After 4 sacks by the Bills, Rodgers moved to the top.

But there's one more sack mountain to climb. While individual defensive sacks didn't become official until '82, team offensive and defensive sacks were officially noted going back into the early Sixties. And if we know who the QB is for an offense, we know how many times his team's QB and, thus, he was sacked in a game, season and career.

Scramblin' Fran Tarkenton, who played for Minnesota, the Giants and the Vikings again from 1961-78, accumulated 570 career sacks. While that number is not considered official, it has been determined to be accurate by football researchers. So here's hoping Rodgers doesn't draw two more sacks vs. Miami on Sunday, and so would avoid topping Tom and Tark in back-to-back weeks for an unexciting mark, as unofficial as it may be.

Buffalo Herd of Touchdowns
The shame of the game at Highmark Stadium was the Jets were still alive, trailing 12-0 midway through the third quarter. But any semblance of a close affair evaporated when the Bills scored four TDs on short fields in short order. The 38-, 37-, 15- and 65-yard drives produced those 4 TDs in a gameclock span of 7:36 — the third-fastest time for an opponent to score 4 TDs in franchise history.

The final touchdown, first-year WR Tyrell Shavers' 69-yard catch-and-fly from Mitch Trubisky, gave Buffalo a 40-0 lead. That deficit was the largest for either the Jets or the Bills in this original AFL rivalry's 128 games and 65 seasons. The largest Bills lead had been 38 points, by 45-7 in their 45-14 win in 1963. The Jets' largest lead had been 39 points, 42-3, which was also the final score in their 1985 home opener.
