Football Preview for 10-14-2024 The New York Jets return from their bye week to host the Buffalo Bills for a Monday Night matchup, both teams boasting winning records with three wins each to start this season compared to three victories for New York and three wins apiece for Buffalo so far. The Bills currently stand 3-2 while New York stands 2-3.

After suffering an impressive defeat against the Vikings, the Jets look to right their ship against their division rivals and win this matchup against them. Their offense must improve to get past tough defenses they've come up against lately.

However, a win would give the Jets an enormous boost in the standings as they currently reside second in the AFC East. Meanwhile, Buffalo has been inconsistent on both ends and could continue lagging further behind in their division.

The Jets must find a way to stop opposing running backs. Their defense has allowed an average of 109 rushing yards, 6.5 receptions, and 62 receiving yards per game this season; and facing teams that possess an effective running attack represents another difficult test for rookie running back Breece Hall who has seen limited success thus far in two starts.

On the other side of the ball, the Jets must find ways for Sam Darnold to improve his play under pressure. His completion rate against blitzes has been disappointing this year with only 52% passing efficiency.

Darnold has struggled against tight coverage and has posted the worst drives-per-touchdown ratio on first read passes in the league. Additionally, Darnold must improve his pass protection in order to face off against an impressive defense that excels at pressing opposing QBs with base rush pressure (24th in NFL).
