The Buffalo Bills are heading to New York to face the Jets after improving to 7-1 with a road victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The Week 10 matchup is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Despite their struggles this season, the Jets are expected to have several important receivers available. Garrett Wilson has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is set to play. Omar Cooper Jr., who is dealing with an ankle injury, and Adonai Mitchell, who has a knee issue, are also expected to suit up after being listed as questionable.
Having the three receivers available could give New York’s offense a boost. Wilson is a major target who may line up against Bills cornerback Christian Benford. Mitchell offers a deep-ball threat, while rookie Cooper has shown potential in the red zone.
## Bills Prepare for a Challenging Jets Offense
New York’s record has not reflected the offense’s potential, and veteran quarterback Geno Smith remains a challenge for opposing defenses. Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard described Smith as decisive and experienced, noting that the Jets work to give him clear reads and help him get the ball out quickly.
Leonhard said Buffalo will need to disrupt Smith’s first read and make him progress through his options. That can give the pass rush more time to affect the play and potentially force incomplete passes, throwaways, or sacks.
The Bills are 8.5-point favorites on the road against the Jets.
