It’s an AFC East affair on Thursday Night Football, as one of the more surprising teams in the league — the 5-2 Bills — travel to New Jersey to play the bottom-dwelling New York Jets.
Buffalo, under head coach Sean McDermott, has been a pleasant surprise, and is winning games with a strong running game on both sides of the football. Buffalo is a top-ten rushing offense in terms of total yards, but they’re top five in stopping the run in both yards and yards per carry. Their pass defense is a different story, as they are 29th in yards allowed through the air; however, they lead the NFL in interceptions and in total turnovers, a large part of why they rank third in the league in terms of fewest points allowed.
