The New York Jets are back at MetLife Stadium again this Sunday for their Week 2 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The Jets opened the year with a heartbreaking 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in front of their home crowd, but the performance left plenty of reasons for optimism moving forward.
Justin Fields was fantastic in his Jets debut, the offensive line turned in one of its best showings in recent memory, and the team's overall offensive blueprint for success this season was on full display.
The Bills, however, come in riding a wave of momentum after last week’s Sunday Night Football classic. Buffalo stunned the Baltimore Ravens in a 41-40 last-second thriller, a game that already feels like an early-season turning point for Sean McDermott’s team.
They’ll arrive in East Rutherford looking to keep that energy rolling against a division rival. The Bills have won eight of their last 10 against the Jets, with their most recent loss coming in the infamous 2023 season opener in which Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles.
The Jets know they face a tall task, but some believe this team has the ability to pull off the stunning upset. The blueprint is there, and the stage is set for another dramatic afternoon at MetLife.
The Jets have ruled out three players due to injury: running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (hamstring), defensive tackle Jay Tufele (illness), and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring). Cornerback Michael Carter II (shoulder) and tight end Mason Taylor (ankle) are listed as questionable.
Carter and Taylor are expected to play despite their injuries, as both were full participants in practice on Friday. The Bills will be without star defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
