Jets-Bills Preview

Key Points:

  • Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott is balancing the decision to rest players ahead of the playoffs while honoring Highmark Stadium in its likely final game against the New York Jets.
  • The Bills, currently the AFC’s No. 7 seed, cannot improve beyond No. 5 and will start the playoffs on the road, with key players like Josh Allen expected to play despite injuries.
  • Running back James Cook has a chance to become the first Bills player since 1976 to win the NFL rushing title, leading his closest competitor by 47 yards.
  • The Jets, enduring the NFL’s longest active playoff drought at 15 years, are struggling defensively and risk becoming the first team to finish a season without an interception.
