Well, the Bills are playing another meaningless week 17 game.
This time it’s due to the fact that they’ve already locked up the top Wild Card spot in the AFC. It was announced earlier in the week that the Bills’ starters will be playing, which can be a nice tune-up game facing the lowly New York Jets.
While we’re not sure exactly how much Buffalo’s No.1’s will be playing, the games, within the game, can still make all the difference.
Here are five matchups to watch for sure the Bills’ Week 17 meeting with the Jets:
Josh Allen vs. Jamal Adams
New York Jets safety Jamal Adams has become enemy No. 1 in western New York after his controversial comments on ‘hunting’ the Bills.
The Jets defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, is the main culprit of the New Orleans Saints ‘Bountygate’ scandal. A payment system where his players earned bonuses for taking opposing players out of the game. It wasn’t a good look for the NFL, the Saints, or the former Bills coach.
So, how does Josh Allen fit into all of this? A mobile quarter, who stands at 6-foot-5, and has already beaten the Jets once this season, he seems like the ideal target to hunt. Allen didn’t have a great game against the Jets, he had four turnovers, but he did throw the game winning touchdown to John Brown late in the fourth quarter.
If Allen is looking to create some momentum going into the playoffs he’ll need to unlock a stingy Jets secondary, led by Jamal Adams. Marcus Maye is his safety partner, and he’s fresh off a check of a game himself. Allen will hopefully only have limited chances to do this, though.
