Losses, Ugly Offenses, Uncertainty QB Brand Bills-Jets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Even the most hardcore fans of Bills and Jets could find it hard to get excited about this one.

The clashes, quarterback issues and defeats are the sad story that marks the last clash of AFC East rivals, the first of their two games this season.

"It's the NFL and everyone can be defeated in this league," said Jamal Adams, Jets security officer. & # 39; & # 39; You must present yourself every Sunday. It does not matter what the numbers are. & # 39; & # 39;

Well, they are not very good – on both sides – in offensive matters.

The Bills (2-7) represent the unit in 31st place and have used a quarterback carousel all season and have tried to determine the weekend where he would stop this time.

Rookie Josh Allen missed three games with a sprained right elbow, veteran Derek Anderson was about to conceal, and Nathan Peterman, a turn-to-turn player, was healthy but ineffective on the turn. less. He completed 31 passes, a career high, last week against Chicago, but also had three steals in the 41-9 loss by the Bears.

That's been a problem all season, no matter who was center for the Bills, who lost four straight. They have scored two touchdowns in their last four games and have been outclassed 103-20 in their last three games.

"Well, you know, the result, obviously, is not what we want it to be offensive," coach Sean McDermott said. & # 39; & # 39; We must continue to find ways to create things, to create a separation, to create victories in the one-on-one game, whether it's the pitching game or the passing game. You always look at yourself first. I expect our coaches and ourselves to look first, and players to look at themselves first.

"Collectively, however, we must do a better job."

The Jets (3-6) know the feeling.

Todd Bowles's group echoed these sentiments in the team's second three-game skid this season.

"We're sort of realizing that the time has come to get closer as a team, as a family and as a fraternity," said defensive lineman Leonard Williams. "When times start to get tough, it's at that point that we have to face adversity side by side and face it as a team."

It seems like they will have to do it without rookie Sam Darnold, who is suffering from foot fatigue that could put him away a few weeks. Darnold leads the league with 14 interceptions, so 39-year-old Josh McCown may be what the Jets need to put things back in order for the league's 29th offensive.

"I'm going out and I'm waiting to play at my level and that of this football team," said McCown, "and to win a football match."

Here are some other things to know about the Bills-Jets game at MetLife Stadium:

THE REAL McCOY?

Le Mans attacking midfielder McCoy is at the worst start of his career with just 267 yards and has not scored yet.

He has raised 10 yards in 10 races against the Bears and has nothing to do with the dynamic player he has been throughout his career. McCoy was mentioned as a possible piece in an exchange leading up to last week's deadline but remains with Buffalo.

OH, SNAP!

The struggles of Spencer Long's Jets center on New York's problems in attack.

Long tries to play with the right middle finger injured on his slapping hand, and things really get complicated last week when he repeatedly fires a shotgun. Bowles eventually attracted Jonotthan Harrison late in the game and Long could still find himself on the sidelines this week.

FAMILY FACE

The Bills were so desperate that recipients of help were getting help that they put Terrelle Pryor on the field five days after his signing. This occurred two weeks after the Jets injured him as a result of an injury to his groin.

New York thought he'd be away for a while, but Pryor was back on the field last Sunday and had two catches for 19 yards. He will have the opportunity to show the Jets how healthy he is on Sunday.

ELI RETURNS

Half-season half Elijah McGuire had 30 yards in seven runs and three catches for 37 yards for the Jets in his debut season after spending the first eight games on the injured reserve with a broken foot.

McGuire played the role of double threat. Bilal Powell, who is absent for the season with a neck injury.
