The New York Jets are set to enter a new chapter as they face the Buffalo Bills in a crucial Monday Night Football game to wrap up Week 6.
This AFC East clash will be the Jets’ first appearance since the dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh. Now, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich will lead a struggling team, currently sitting at 2-3, which recently suffered a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
On the other hand, the Buffalo Bills have seen their momentum wane following a robust start with three consecutive wins. A setback against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 was their first loss, which was followed by another defeat on the road to the Houston Texans in Week 5.
The last encounter between the Bills and Jets on Monday Night Football was memorable, as Aaron Rodgers was lost to an Achilles injury just four plays into his Jets debut. Despite this setback, the Jets pulled off a remarkable victory in overtime, highlighted by a punt return touchdown from Xavier Gipson.
As the rivalry continues, fans are eager to see what unfolds in this upcoming match.
The Bills and Jets will clash on Monday Night Football on October 14 at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC, featuring play-by-play commentary from Joe Buck, analysis by Troy Aikman, and sideline reports from Lisa Salter. Additionally, viewers can tune into the “ManningCast” available on ESPN2.
For those wishing to live stream the game, it will be accessible via Watch ESPN and the ESPN app.
Regarding the weather, NBC New York projects a temperature of 50 degrees at kickoff, with no expected rain for the evening in East Rutherford.
