This was a scenario that the New York Jets did not want to face.
Prior to the Week 8 matchup with the Patriots, several podcasters at Jets X-Factor referred to the game as a “must-win.” It may have seemed melodramatic to call it that with the Jets standing at 5-2.
However, after the 22-17 defeat to New England, the Jets stand in the exact position that our podcasters feared. The mighty, AFC-leading, Super Bowl-favorite Buffalo Bills come into town, forcing the Jets to either beat them or face a two-game losing streak heading into the bye week.
