The Buffalo Bills will try to beat the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium for the first time in three years.
While both teams are coming off back-to-back losses, the Jets endured an unusually turbulent week in Florham Park with the firing of head coach Robert Saleh and the subsequent demotion of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
As if there weren't already enough reasons why the primetime divisional affair is as meaningful as any game on the Week 6 slate. Both teams need a win to reset the tone in their respective buildings. Then, there's the weird dynamic that Jets' quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in a home Monday night game against the Bills 13 months ago. Although Buffalo has won the last four AFC East division titles, New York has won the last two head-to-head meetings at MetLife Stadium.'s six-person prediction panel is leaning toward the wounded road team by a 4-to-2 margin.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers has been on the injury report for two different issues the past two weeks and does not seem completely in sync with his receivers. Is it realistic to expect a smooth operation in what will be Todd Downing's first game calling the plays for the Rodgers-led unit? Adding one more element to this rivalry matchup, Bills' starting left tackle Dion Dawkins has had plenty to say about"The tensions are just high. They talk. We talk. We're entertainers. I'm for sure an entertainer," said Dawkins this past week while looking ahead to the matchup.
