On Sunday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets will square off in an AFC East game from Highmark Stadium. These two teams are only separated by a half-game; the Jets are 4-5 and the Bills are 5-5. This matchup between these two bitter rivals could have a significant impact on who advances farther in the playoffs. The Jets are hoping to make it a season sweep in a game that fans won't want to miss after shocking the Bills in overtime in week one.

The Jets had a winning record just a few weeks ago, but after two straight losses, they are now looking for a way out of their current slump. They will have some confidence from their victory over Buffalo in the first week, even though playing on the road will undoubtedly make things more difficult. They have only triumphed twice in the previous seven encounters between these two teams and have not won in Buffalo since 2019. It's now or never for the Jets to make an impression and go back into the win column, defeating a divisional opponent along the road, with the AFC race getting closer.

It hasn't helped that there are now 21 players on the injury report, which has only gotten longer in recent weeks. The most notable being the absence of Aaron Rodgers, who has already been ruled out, being ten. There is some doubt about Garrett Wilson's elbow, which would be a serious setback for the passing game. It's good news because Quincy Williams and John Franklin-Myers are both expected to play defense.

The offense is still having trouble, but the defense has kept them in most games. They went another week without scoring an offensive touchdown, so they'll have their work cut out for them going into this one given their total offense ranking of 29th. Breece Hall has been quite effective on the run, but Zach has thrown for more interceptions than touchdowns. Their best chance of winning could lie in controlling the clock and producing first downs on the ground. The passing game might suffer even more if Wilson is sidelined as a wide receiver. The secondary has the tools to make it difficult for the Bills to move the ball, and Mosley is enjoying a fantastic season on defense.

Similar to the Jets, the Bills entered this game having dropped four of their previous six games and two of their previous games. They are under even more pressure to defeat their division rival in this match after their devastating home loss the previous week. The Bills' extended home winning streak came to an end last week, but they still have a chance to exact revenge on the Jets after they lost on the road in week one. This season, they have only suffered one home loss. With a few exceptions, the Bills have dominated this series over the past several seasons, and they'll be looking to get back to that trend in this one.

Despite being eighth in the league in yardage, the offensive is still among the best in the AFC, but they will have their hands full against this formidable New York defense. Buffalo's demise this season has been attributed to turnovers; they rank 27th in interceptions and 23rd in fumbles. Josh Allen (19 touchdowns, 11 interceptions) has to handle the ball better; if he and Stefon Diggs can reunite, this unit can still be quite potent. They'll be confident in continuing New York's problems on defense, but they'll also need to apply pressure to the quarterback and cause some turnovers of their own.
