‘As McDermott concluded, “We’ve got to earn the right to win this week.” Even though it’s a “can’t lose” game.’

Take Five: For Bills, nothing less than dominant win vs. hapless Jets will do
‘It’s fair to say the Bills don’t belong in the discussion as one of the NFL heavyweights, because they’ve been knocked out by two, the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs. But they sure as heck should be far superior to the Jets, who they beat in their season-opener and who could very well be one ugly loss away from saying goodbye to coach Adam Gase.’
Does Tremaine Edmunds need to start making big plays? Yes, says Sean McDermott
‘The former first-round draft pick has endured an undeniable regression in 2020, and that is part of the reason why the once-formidable Bills’ defense has played poorly for most of the year.’
Pilot draws Buffalo Bills logo in the air over Orchard Park in his plane
‘He took off at 11 a.m. in Lancaster and landed about 90 minutes later. After the Bills shared the flight path on Twitter, Jeswald took credit for the artful flight.’
Tre’ Davious White questionable, Josh Norman out vs. Jets | Here’s what Bills might do at CB
‘When White missed the game against the Tennessee Titans, McDermott gave second-year cornerback Cam Lewis, a University at Buffalo product, a chance to fill in. The coaching staff felt he performed well under the circumstances and he started in place of Taron Johnson in the slot when White returned against the Kansas City Chiefs. But Lewis injured his wrist in the first quarter of that game and has been in a club-like wrap on his hand ever since, participating in a limited capacity this week during practice. He’s questionable to play Sunday.’
Will Josh Allen, Bills right the ship versus Jets? (8 things to watch)
‘If Allen can’t get back on track against the Jets, Buffalo’s offense will likely continue to struggle for the foreseeable future.’
Four Bills starters OUT for Sunday’s game against Jets; Three more questionable
‘Brown missed the Titans game with a calf injury and tried to give it a go in the Bills’ Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but appeared hobbled and was ineffective. Ford injured his knee during the Bills’ loss to Kansas City and did not practice all week. As a result, he will miss his first game of the season. Norman was injured during practice this week when, according to head coach Sean McDermott, he tweaked the same hamstring injury that placed him on injured reserve to begin the season, which caused him to miss the Bills’ first three games. Dodson injured his hamstring during the Bills’ loss to the Chiefs and didn’t practice all week. It will be the first game he has missed this season.’

4 The Fans: Bills vs. Jets
‘Perfect team to do it against even though we won’t really learn much about the Bills from this game because, lets’ face it, the Jets aren’t much of a measuring stick but it’s still a little confidence booster after that blowout loss to the Titans and that tough loss to the Chiefs on Monday.’
