Overview

  • Following Monday night’s road win at Minnesota, Buffalo is 7-1 and tied for the NFL lead as it chases its best start since 1993.
  • The Bills added veteran safety Amani Hooker this week and coach Joe Brady said Hooker should be available to help a pass defense that has shown recent improvement.
  • Buffalo’s offensive line was limited in midweek practice, with Spencer Brown downgraded to non-participant and starters Dion Dawkins, Alec Anderson and Connor McGovern listed as limited, creating uncertainty about pass protection for Josh Allen.
  • The Jets are 2-7 and have lost four straight, but rookie edge rusher David Bailey has 7.5 sacks and poses a clear matchup problem for an injury-affected Bills front.
  • Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 15 matters for AFC East tiebreakers because a Bills loss would complicate their push for the top seed while a Jets win would halt Buffalo’s momentum and buy relief for coach Aaron Glenn.
