The New York Jets are set to begin a new chapter with a crucial Monday Night Football matchup against the Buffalo Bills, as they wrap up Week 6 of the NFL season.
This clash in the AFC East marks the Jets’ first game since the dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich will lead the struggling 2-3 team, which is coming off a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills have hit a rough patch after starting the season strong at 3-0. They suffered their first defeat against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 4, followed by another loss on the road to the Houston Texans in Week 5.
The last matchup between the Bills and Jets on Monday Night Football was memorable; it saw Aaron Rodgers sustain a season-ending Achilles injury just four plays into his debut for the Jets. However, the team pulled off a remarkable overtime win, highlighted by a punt return touchdown from Xavier Gipson.
As the Bills and Jets prepare to renew their rivalry, here are the key details for the upcoming game.
The Bills vs. Jets game will take place on Monday, October 14, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
