The NFL is almost at the midway point as Week 6 is officially here. The finale of the week features an AFC Divisional Clash on Monday Night Football between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. The Jets and Bills both desperately need a win in this AFC East bout, as the division is as up for grabs as it has ever been.
The Bills, Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots have a combined seven wins this season. With the Jets at 2-3 and the Bills at 3-2, a win by the Jets could move them to first place as they would own the tie-breaker. But a loss would move them to a 2-4 record which, would be a steep hole to climb out of.
After the first three weeks of the season, the Bills appeared to be a Super Bowl contender and many were ready to crown their starting quarterback Josh Allen the MVP. But their first three games were against lesser competition in the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, and Jacksonville Jaguars. But after going up against stiffer competition in the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, the Bills have appeared to come back to earth.
A new era will begin for the Jets on Monday night. After falling to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, New York made the shocking decision to part ways with head coach Robert Saleh, Jeff Ulbrich has taken over as the interim head coach. In addition offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has also been relieved from his playcalling duties. It will be interesting to see what this latest shakeup does for the Jets. They still have some of the top offensive weapons in the league in Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers. But on the flip side, Saleh had a reputation for crafting stringent defenses.
