The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to clash once again in the first of two games on ‘Monday Night Football’ during Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. What was once a matchup between two quarterbacks named Josh Allen has now evolved into a contest featuring Bills quarterback Josh Allen against Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen, who has announced his name change this offseason as a tribute to his family.
This matchup highlights a stark contrast in team performance. The Jaguars, struggling with an 0-2 record after losses to the Dolphins and Browns, need significant improvements on offense as they navigate Trevor Lawrence’s fourth season. To keep their playoff aspirations alive and contend with the Houston Texans in the AFC South, Jacksonville will need stronger performances from Lawrence, rookie standout Brian Thomas Jr., former Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis, and star running back Travis Etienne.
On the other hand, the Bills are looking like strong contenders for the AFC East title. In their last game, they secured a convincing 31-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins, which was already leaning toward a blowout by the time Tua Tagovailoa exited due to a concussion. In that game, Allen completed 13 of 19 passes for 139 yards, while running back James Cook scored three touchdowns.
