The Buffalo Bills are out on the road this week as they visit the New York Jets for an AFC East battle. The Bills are the only team in the division who won last week, but the Jets were very close to taking down Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the Steelers hit a 60-yard field goal late in the game and the Jets couldn’t capitalize to make a comeback.
Buffalo is coming off a ginormous win against the Ravens where they won off of a walkoff field goal, winning 41-40. It was not a great game for the Bills defensively, but it was the perfect ending.
The Jets have always given the Bills a little bit of trouble. They are familiar with them and honestly, they match up well against them. New York brings physicality and gives the Bills issues to be productive.
As this game approaches this Sunday, there are four Jets players that Bills fans may worry about because they could be x-factors for the Jets.
Jets players that Bills fans need to strongly worry about for Week 2
RB Breece Hall
Seeing what Derrick Henry did to Buffalo’s defense, there is no doubt that Breece Hall could do the same thing. Last week against the Steelers who usually have one of the top defenses in the league, Hall rushed for 107 yards and also added on 38 yards through the air.
The Bills gave up 238 yards on the ground last week, making this matchup against the Jets’ rushing attack a mismatch. If Hall gets room to run and control the game, we could very well see a repeat of last week.
WR Garrett Wilson
I mean, how can you not put Garrett Wilson on a list like this? With having to deal with some of the worst quarterback play since being drafted, Wilson still manages to be one of the top receivers in the game. He led the Jets in receiving yards last week with 95 off of 7 receptions. He’s going to get his targets, and Christian Benford should be in for a tough battle.
LB Quincy Williams
It was tough to put Quincy Williams over Quinnen Williams, but I firmly believe that Quincy Williams could be more of a disrupter against both the run and the pass. As one of the more underrated players in the league, he will be tasked to be on the lookout for not just Josh Allen, but also James Cook.
If he can get into a rhythm and make a game-defining play, it would be very bad for the Bills.
CB Sauce Gardner
Much like Wilson, you have to put Sauce Gardner on this list because of the player he has become in such a short amount of time. Don’t get me wrong, he’s had his bad moments but he’s still one of the top shutdown corners in the game.
Josh Allen is great and he has proven that he can make the big plays. At the same time, it might be wise to not avoid Gardner at times because all it takes is one interception for the momentum to shift.
