Jets Wire breaks down what it’s going to take for the Jets to have success on defense against the Bills on Sunday.

Limit chunk plays

A big reason why Buffalo was able to come back from 16 points down against the Jets in Week 1 was its ability to rip off chunk plays at key points in the game.

John Brown torched New York for seven catches, 123 yards, one touchdown and 17.6 yards per reception. Devin Singletary averaged 17.5 yards per carry on four rushes for 70 yards and tight end Tommy Sweeney, who serves primarily as a blocker, averaged 17.5 yards per reception on two catches for 35 yards.

If the Jets want to have any chance at winning on Sunday, they’re going to have to eliminate costly chunk plays. It was their downfall in September and it’s safe to assume Gregg Williams is game planning to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
