The Buffalo Bills will face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Monday Night Football on October 14, 2024. Both teams are looking to snap a losing streak, with each team having lost their last two games.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson was unhappy with his team’s results and has decided to part ways with head coach Robert Saleh. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been named interim coach. Buffalo coach Sean McDermott is keeping his job, though his position could change if the team loses again.
Buffalo Bills Need to Get Back in Shape
Buffalo started the 2024 season with a solid 3-2 record, but two recent losses have shaken the team's confidence. First, there was a painful 35-10 rout of the Baltimore Ravens. In that game, quarterback Josh Allen failed to throw a single touchdown, which has happened for only the second time since 2022.
The next game against the Houston Texans also ended in a 23-20 loss for Buffalo. Unusually, the Bills have failed to score more than 20 points twice in a row, which last happened exactly a year ago.
Tough Times for the New York Jets
The New York Jets are 2-3, and this has become a reason for changes on the team. Woody Johnson is hoping for more, especially considering that legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the team, but he will soon turn 41 and his career is coming to an end.
Following the firing of Robert Saleh, Jeff Ulbrich has been appointed as interim head coach. The upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills will be his first test as head coach, and everyone is waiting to see how he handles the task.
Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Prediction
The odds are starting to lean in favor of the Buffalo Bills, and that's no surprise. The new interim coach of the New York Jets has no experience at such a high level, and the Buffaloes will be trying their best to break their losing streak. A confident victory is expected for the visitors.
