The Buffalo Bills enter Sunday’s contest against the New York Jets with a 7-1 record and a four-game winning streak, according to “reporting from Yahoo Sports.”
Buffalo currently leads the league in points per game at 32.0 and total yards per game at 386.4.
Despite the records, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady cautioned that statistics can be deceptive in the current NFL landscape.
“Records can mislead in this league,” “Joe Brady told reporters during the week.”
The Jets, who hold a 2-7 record and have lost four consecutive games, present a challenge with the league’s fifth-highest pressure rate at 39.2 percent.
Rookie David Bailey has emerged as a significant defensive threat for New York, tied for fourth in the NFL with 7.5 sacks and tied for the league lead with five forced fumbles.
Buffalo faces personnel concerns as starting right tackle Spencer Brown is listed as doubtful due to an ankle injury.
Tylan Grable is expected to step in at right tackle to manage the pressure from Bailey.
Running back James Cook remains a focal point for the Bills offense, having rushed for 814 yards this season, which ranks him fifth in the NFL.
Cook has scored in seven straight games, though he must protect the football against a Jets defense that prioritizes creating turnovers.
Defensively, the Bills have seen improvement since the return of tackle Ed Oliver.
In the two games since his return, the Buffalo defense has allowed a combined total of 16 points.
The unit will need to account for Jets running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen to prevent the home team from gaining offensive momentum.
While the Jets are currently struggling, the Bills remain focused on securing their eighth win of the season.
The game at MetLife Stadium serves as a test for Buffalo’s depth as they look to continue their recent string of successful performances.
