For the first time in my life, I'm going to be looking for people to run into, Snell told Jets halfback Emerson Boozer, who went on to deliver key blocks in the game. I'm going to be looking to punish people.
The New York Jets are parting ways with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward and ultimately, they made the mutual decision to move on. The Jets' search for a new offensive coordinator will start immediately. The Jets are also in search of a defensive coordinator after firing Steve Wilks in December.

Going 16 games without a pick and having to break the streak against Josh Allen would have been tough, except he wasn't the Jets' real challenge yesterday. (The Jets have plenty of challenges; foremost is being the Jets.) The Bills let Allen take one snap to preserve his streak of consecutive starts, then replaced him with backup QB Mitchell Trubisky, who proceeded to carve up the New York defense for 259 yards and four touchdowns on 22-of-29 passing.
