Buffalo’s “hard” week of practice
Bills coach Sean McDermott didn’t sugarcoat things. He pushed his team into full pads Wednesday, insisting that good enough is not enough. Buffalo surrendered 238 rushing yards to the Ravens, including three rushing touchdowns, and knows the Jets will attempt to pound the ball with Justin Fields and Breece Hall.
Despite the defensive lapses, Josh Allen showed why the Bills remain dangerous, completing 33 passes for 394 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie wideout Keon Coleman led all receivers with eight catches for 112 yards, establishing himself as a new weapon in Buffalo’s arsenal.
Jets leaning on Fields and Hall
The Jets may have lost in Week 1, but Fields’ dual-threat debut was impressive: 218 passing yards, 48 rushing yards, and three total touchdowns. Hall added 107 rushing yards, showing that New York can control the ground game and the tempo. Coach Aaron Glenn emphasized that Fields will be allowed to play freely, with the offense designed around his strengths.
New York’s defense also has playmakers. Garrett Wilson grabbed seven passes for 95 yards and a score, and he has consistently produced against Buffalo in past seasons.

The Lean
Buffalo has won three straight against the Jets since 2023, but New York’s new scheme under Glenn makes this matchup far less predictable. The Jets’ run-first approach targets Buffalo’s weakness, but the Bills’ explosive passing attack may be too much at home.
Current odds lean toward Buffalo, with the Bills projected to win 27-24. Bettors should monitor injury reports, especially Buffalo’s secondary and New York’s offensive line. For updated spreads and totals, check NFL odds.
Final Word
This early-season matchup could define momentum for both squads in the AFC East. If the Bills’ defense can’t contain the Jets’ ground attack, Fields might engineer an upset. If Allen stays hot and finds Coleman, Stefon Diggs, and Dawson Knox, Buffalo will move to 2-0.
