The play came in the third quarter after Rodgers was intercepted by Bills cornerback Christian Benford.

On the return, Benford ran out of bounds and Rodgers hit him late.

Rodgers was penalized for unnecessary roughness for the first time in his career.

In addition to Rodgers, Jets defensive end Micheal Clemons was fined $6,533 for unnecessary roughness in the Bills game after he jumped on a pile late.

The Jets made a few roster moves Saturday afternoon.

They placed CB Sauce Gardner on injured reserve.
