Klubnik entered the game to start the second half while starter Smith was being evaluated for a concussion, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. He subsequently cleared protocol and re-entered the game in the third.

Smith played one series and took another big hit at the end of the drive, forcing Klubnik to return to the game once again. The veteran was initially deemed questionable to return due to an ankle injury, and he went back to the locker room to be evaluated further before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Smith was initially injured on a big hit near the end of the first half, as two Bills defenders hit him high and low as he fired an incomplete pass into the end zone, forcing the Jets to settle for a field goal.

Klubnik had a few big moments in his first series, completing two of his four passes for 39 yards and rushing for 19 yards to help lead New York into the red zone. However, the team failed to convert on third down once again, forcing kicker Jason Sanders to kick his third field goal of the day.

On the ensuing possession, the Bills marched right down the field, with star quarterback Josh Allen finding tight end Dalton Kincaid for a 54-yard catch-and-run. Allen punched it in for his second rushing touchdown of the day. The Bills quickly pulled away, with star running back James Cook capping things off with a 74-yard touchdown run.

After falling to 2-8, the Jets are likely headed for their 16th straight year without a playoff appearance. While Smith gives New York its best chance to win if he's healthy, the team will likely give Klubnik a chance to show what he has later in the year.
