6 Jets to watch in Week 11 vs. Bills

Here are six players from the Jets to keep tabs on in the team’s Week 11 divisional bout against the Bills.

The New York Jets will be hitting the road to square off against a struggling Buffalo Bills squad in Week 11 that just fired their offensive coordinator. Both teams are currently on two-game losing streaks, with the Jets having a 4-5 record and the Bills owning a 5-5 record.

The Jets are in must-win territory with the AFC playoff picture shaping up. And if Aaron Rodgers ends up making a return this season, the Jets need to be in a position where the postseason is legitimately within reach.

In desperate need of a win, here are six players on the Jets to watch in Sunday’s divisional bout against the Bills.

Jets injury report: Duane Brown, Chazz Surratt, Billy Turner out for Week 10

Jets injury report: Duane Brown, Chazz Surratt, Billy Turner out for Week 10

The Jets will be without two offensive tackles for Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Jets are not activating Duane Brown just yet while Billy Turner is out after getting surgery on his injured finger.

The result is a sixth different starting offensive line combination for the Jets in their ninth game this season. Most likely, the Jets will move Max Mitchell back to right tackle after he started at right guard last week against the Chargers while a new face will start at right guard. Rodger Saffold could get the start. The Jets will likely elevate the veteran from the practice squad.

Linebacker Chazz Surratt is also out as he will miss his second game with an injured ankle.

First-round pick Will McDonald suffered an ankle injury and was a late addition to the injury report, missing Friday’s practice, putting his status for Sunday up in the air. He is officially listed as questionable.

Mekhi Becton (knee), Allen Lazard (knee), Jeremy Ruckert (shoulder) and Quincy Williams (knee) were all full participants in practice Friday and are good to go for Sunday.

Here are our six players to keep an eye on as the Jets take on the Giants in Week 8.

The Giants secured a 14-7 victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 7 with Tyrod Taylor filling in at quarterback for the injured Daniel Jones. It remains to be seen if Jones is cleared to return following a two-game absence because of a neck injury.

Robert Saleh broke out a perfectly timed celebration with Quincy Williams and fans thought it was awesome

The timing was SPOT ON.

The New York Jets had plenty of reasons to get excited about Sunday’s Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Of course, they handed the defending NFC champs their first loss of the season. But the Jets defense especially did an incredible job to hold the Eagles to 14 points and force four turnovers.

That kind of energy from the defense even had head coach Robert Saleh getting in on the celebrations.

The uppercut celebration has grown into Jets linebacker Quincy Williams’ go-to celly since he joined the league in 2019. He said he drew inspiration from the video game Street Fighter and has been going to that celebration after big plays ever since.

So, after Williams stopped DeVonta Smith short of the sticks on third down, Saleh knew what was coming and timed it up perfectly.

Saleh was so in sync with Williams on the celebration that it almost looked like the two had planned it ahead of time. Saleh was ready, and Williams approved.

Jets fans also loved seeing that excitement from their head coach on the sidelines. Not every team can say the same.

6 takeaways from Jets’ impressive 20-14 win over Eagles

Here are our six immediate takeaways from the Jets’ impressive 20-14 win over the Eagles in Week 6.

The New York Jets improbably handed the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the season on Sunday, winning the game 20-14. While the Eagles went to 5-1 on the season, the Jets improved to 3-3 to avoid falling too far behind the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East race.

After going down 7-0 to begin the game, the defense stifled Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ offense, outscoring them 20-7 following the first drive of the contest. Even though the offense made plays when they needed to, Sunday’s victory was all about the stellar performance by the defense.

With the Jets upsetting the Eagles at home in Week 6, here are our six immediate takeaways from the contest.

Studs and duds from Jets’ 31-21 win over Broncos in Week 5

Studs and duds from Jets’ 31-21 win over Broncos in Week 5

The Jets went to Denver almost needing a win to save their season. They came away with a 31-21 victory and a 2-3 record that gives the team hope again with the schedule lightening up after the bye week.

Who stood out and helped the Jets get that big win? Here’s our Week 5 “Studs and Duds”.

Quincy Williams says he knew he would sack Russell Wilson at end of game

Quincy Williams says he knew he was going to sack Russell Wilson at end of game

Jets linebacker Quincy Williams is quickly becoming one of the top linebackers in the NFL right before our eyes. The latest example came at the end of Sunday’s game against the Broncos.

With Denver driving with a chance to tie or even win the game, Williams came up with the play of the game to help secure the victory for the Jets. Williams came off the edge, got to Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and caused a fumble with a strip-sack, his second sack of the game. The fumble was scooped up by cornerback Bryce Hall and returned 39 yards to put the game on ice and give the Jets a 31-21 victory to snap a three-game losing streak and move to 2-3.

Williams told reporters after the game he knew as soon as the play call came in that he was getting to Wilson.

“Ain’t nobody outrunning me,” Williams said. “I’m the fastest linebacker in the league.”

Williams even said he was surprised defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich called the play since they hadn’t practiced or called the play in a while.

The Jets gave Williams a three-year, $18 million contract over the offseason. He is quickly making that a bargain for the Jets.
