Thursday’s N.F.L Matchup: Bills (4-4) at Jets (5-3)

8:25 p.m. Eastern, NFL Network

If you thought Rex Ryan was not going to make some noise this week — when his new team, the Buffalo Bills, plays the team that fired him in the off-season, the Jets, in a prime-time matchup with playoff implications — you probably should not play the lottery or bet on any horses any time soon.

If ever Rex was gonna Rex, this was the week he was going to do it. And he did not disappoint, naming linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali, who was cut by the Jets in training camp after he broke the jaw of quarterback Geno Smith with a sucker punch, a team captain for this matchup.
