Sunday’s NFL statistics, highlights
Jets 30, Patriots 27 (OT)
Nick Folk kicked a 42-yard field goal with 5:07 left in overtime to lift New York over New England in East Rutherford, N.J. Folk got a second chance after he missed a 56-yarder moments earlier. But Chris Jones was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing a teammate forward to try to block the kick, a new NFL rule. New York, given new life, ran the ball three times to set up Folk’s winner. Geno Smith threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score for the Jets (4-3). New England (5-2) tied it at 27 with 16 seconds left in regulation on Stephen Gostkowski’s 44-yard FG.

Bengals 27, Lions 24
Mike Nugent’s 54-yard FG as time expired lifted Cincinnati to a road win over Detroit.
