These are the weeks Buffalo Bills fans have been waiting for all season long.
This is the home stretch. It’s crunch time. And, to top it all off, the Bills are in full control of the number one seed in the AFC. It’s Buffalo’s crown to lose at this point, and they have an opportunity to run the table while earning themselves a much-deserved bye week at the start of the postseason.
In a competitive AFC, that’s an advantage the Bills could use, especially when trying to get the troops as healthy as possible going into those games in January.
This weekend, it’s a tough divisional test. The Bills take on the New York Jets in a rematch from Week 9 in which they lost, surprisingly, and this time it will be a much different ball game.
The Buffalo Bills will be playing a different game this time around vs. the New York Jets.
The biggest difference between now and their earlier meeting, of course, is one of the hottest stories around the league at the moment. Jets head coach Robert Saleh has named Mike White his starter for the third week in a row, after a fallout with second-year pro Zach Wilson, who was under center the last time these teams met.
Saleh still maintains the positioning that Wilson will get back on the field at some point this year, but it’s White who the Jets have been rallying around, so that idea might shift as the season wears on.
Meanwhile in Buffalo, life without Von Miller is the big story. The defense has gotten some of its pieces back, thankfully, but now play without Miller for the immediate future due to a knee injury.
As the Bills get set to aim for revenge this weekend, there are some burning questions Bills fans cannot wait to see answered.
