‘It isn’t only because a Buffalo loss would allow the Jets to supplant the Bills for sole possession of first place in the AFC East. It’s also because the Bills have lost their last two games against far better opponents than the ones they faced through a 3-0 start. A third straight defeat would only intensify the doubts about whether they still have what it takes to be a serious postseason contender.’

Bills vs. Jets: Key matchup to watch for on Monday Night Football
‘We’ve seen it before. Teams often rally around major coaching changes. The boost is there the following game after the move, especially early.

‘It would certainly be better if James Cook can play Monday night, but the Bills run game success is not dependent on Cook. He provides a home run hitting ceiling that Ty Johnson and Ray Davis can’t match, but the depth RBs have shown capable in limited opportunities. Johnson is already the two minute running back and has as many receiving TDs as Cook this year. Regardless the personnel available, the Bills can and must succeed on the ground.’

Game Predictions | Bills at Jets | Monday Night Football | Week 6
‘The Bills are out on the road for a third straight week, while the Jets are looking to get a bounce from the firing of coach Robert Saleh. It will be interesting to see how this team responds.
