The Monday night game between the Bills and the Jets will be presented at 8 p.m. on RDS and RDS.ca.
PREMATCH
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are losing momentum. Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets are in trouble.
Questions, doubts and even major changes emerged during each club’s two consecutive defeats.
And, despite all this, they will face each other on Monday evening for first place in the Eastern section of the American association.
“Because we started 3-0 and we lost the last two games against two good teams, you have to ask yourself questions,” admitted Allen, who never lost three games in a row as the starting quarterback of the Bills.
“We just stick together, we stick to the game plan and we just trust the process. »
Meanwhile, the Jets (2-3) have completely changed theirs.
Owner Woody Johnson surprisingly fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday, disappointed with the direction his team seemed to be heading.
“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, a bit of a tornado,” Ulbrich said before leading his first practice Thursday. But it’s exciting at the same time. »
Rodgers and the offense will have a different voice after Ulbrich demoted Nathaniel Hackett and promoted passing game coordinator Todd Downing, also the Jets’ quarterbacks coach.
“We’re moving on to the Bills. It’s time, said Ulbrich, who will continue to lead the Jets’ defense. It’s time we get things moving. Let’s start playing the type of football we know we are capable of. All our attention is now focused on the Bills de Buffalo. »
Their sectional rivals will therefore not know what to expect from their usually familiar opponents.
“I have a feeling they’ll be more than ready to play us Monday night,” Allen said of the Jets. We’re going to have to handle every play they throw at us and continue to get back up and move forward.
“You have to have a great sense of urgency, get off to a good start and find ways to stay on the field on third downs and score touchdowns when we’re near the end zone. »
