Tampa Bay erased a 10-0 first-quarter deficit to beat New York 24-16 at MetLife Stadium on Friday. Allen's 31-yard rushing touchdown capped the Jets' early surge, but Garnes returned an interception 47 yards for a score in the second quarter to level things at 10-10. York's 38-yard field goal on the halftime buzzer nudged New York back ahead 13-10, but Williams ran in from 12 yards out early in the third to put Tampa Bay in front for good. A Sanders 47-yarder in the fourth cut the deficit to one, but Daniels sealed it with a 1-yard rushing touchdown at 3:24 of the fourth, capping a 24-16 final.

With no standings or bracket at stake, the more telling detail is how the game unfolded: Tampa Bay scored on three of its four second-half drives and held New York scoreless in the third quarter. Daniels finished 10-of-15 for 111 yards and added the game-clinching rushing score. Allen was the Jets' most productive back with 44 yards on four carries in his limited work.
