Bills-Jets preview
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills didn’t take last week’s loss lightly.
Getting beaten 9-6 by the poor Jacksonville Jaguars was both surprising and embarrassing. The Bills had already turned the page this week, but that performance gave them the electroshock they needed to make a lot of things better.
“Of course we’re frustrated because nobody likes to lose,” said Diggs. Especially not me. Anyone who accepts a loss is a loser. I digested it. I watched the game and found the things I can do better. I try to move forward. “
The Bills (5-3) will have the chance to move forward on Sunday, against the New York Jets (2-6), their rivals from the East of the American, at MetLife Stadium.
“You can’t just dwell on one loss, one game,” said quarterback Josh Allen. We discussed what went wrong on Monday, which we need to correct. “
Allen made two interceptions and lost a fumble in the first four streaks to the Bills’ offense in the second half against Jacksonville. The Bills were unable to score a touchdown and their offense generated just 17 first tries, ending their 23-game streak with 20 or more.
“Yes, I imagine the Bills will be very angry after seeing this game again,” admitted Jets head coach Robert Saleh. They have an explosive attack that can kick in at any time. They have talent in all positions. “
The Jets know full well they can’t take Allen lightly.
“He’s a great quarterback,” praised defensive end John Franklin-Myers. He can do anything. He has good arms, he moves well, he has a good head, so it’s a big challenge for us. We are ready. “
The Jets’ defense is better to be. She has averaged 463 yards in her last four games, including just 318 in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals two weeks ago.
“It’s not good enough whether you’re a coach or a player,” Jets defense coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said.
Mike White will once again be the Jets’ starting quarterback. The substitute will be making his third straight start in the absence of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, who is yet to recover from his sprained right knee.
Quebecer Laurent Duvernay-Tardif could play a first game in the Jets uniform. The one who went from the Kansas City Chiefs to the New York squad by the trade deadline is listed second as left guard on the Jets position chart.
