New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills Team News
The Jets are already dealing with several injuries, which is one of many reasons why they are currently the only winless team in the NFL. Quarterback Sam Darnold is the player to look out for this week, as currently it is unclear what his condition is and if he will be available this Sunday. Joe Flacco has assumed quarterbacking duties in the meantime, but having Darnold back would help bring some hope back to the offense. At the same time, though, the Jets should not rush Darnold until he is 100 percent.
Bills' head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that Cody Ford, Tyrel Dodson, and Cam Lewis are all week-to-week. Aside from those players, there are not any other significant injuries on the team. The team will likely still be without starting tight end Dawson Knox on Sunday, but that could change.

New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills Buccaneers Prediction
Whether Darnold comes back Sunday or not, this will be an easy win for the Bills. The Jets' organization is currently in shambles, with head coach Adam Gase somehow not having been fired yet. The Jets rank 32nd in almost every possible stat in the league and if that does not get Gase fired, I'm not sure what will.
Bills QB Josh Allen will certainly have a field day against the Jets defense and will most certainly break Buffalo's two-game losing streak since Week 5. It still is a division game and could be tough nonetheless. But then again, the Dolphins did not allow the Jets to score a single point.
Prediction: Bills win in easy fashion.
