EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – For the second yr in a row, the Buffalo Payments are at MetLife Stadium for a Monday evening take a look at towards the New York Jets.
Final yr, the Payments and Jets met in Week 1 and regardless of shedding star quarterback Aaron Rodgers – who was making his Jets debut after 18 years in Inexperienced Bay – on the fourth play of the sport to a season-ending Achilles damage, New York discovered a solution to pull out a 22-16 time beyond regulation victory on a walk-off punt return landing by Xavier Gipson.
There may be extra drama surrounding the Jets this time round, too, as proprietor Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh final week and the group will now be led by defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, whereas the offensive play calling has been taken away from former Payments offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and given to Jets QB coach/passing recreation coordinator Todd Downing.
Keep proper right here all evening for stay updates:
Chuck Clark damage replace
New York Jets security Chuck Clark is questionable to return with an ankle damage. Clark went into the locker room for X-rays.
Buffalo protection will get a cease – 12:06 2nd quarter
New York picked up one first down on a 14-yard reception by Garrett Wilson. Buffalo’s protection stepped up after that. Taron Johnson stopped Breece Corridor for a 1-yard run, Terrel Bernard invaded the backfield to drop Corridor for a 5-yard loss and Aaron Rodgers third-down move was incomplete. Thomas Morstead punted 45 yards and Kaiir Elam was flagged for holding on the return. Buffalo begins from the New York 10-yard line.
Payments go three-and-out – :25 1st quarter
It was the primary possession with out factors. Josh Allen threw incomplete, Ray Davis rushed for 4 yards and a third-and-6 completion to Curtis Samuel was stopped after 4 yards. Sam Martin punted 62 yards to the tip zone.
Jets 10, Payments 7: Garrett Wilson makes sliding landing catch
For no matter purpose, the Payments are helpless once they play towards Breece Corridor. He got here into this recreation averaging simply three yards per carry, however as he has achieved previously, he’s carving up the Payments protection.
He accounted for 57 dashing and receiving yards on New York’s second possession, and that arrange Aaron Rodgers’ five-yard landing move to Garrett Wilson. The Jets matched the Payments TD drive precisely, 9 performs, 70 yards, and the Payments offered no resistance.
Payments 7, Jets 3: Josh Allen punches in landing run on bodily drive
That was fairly a solution by the Payments as they steamrolled their approach down the sector to take a 7-3 lead.
Ty Johnson opened the drive towards his former group with a 12-yard run round proper finish, then Josh Allen hit Dalton Kincaid for a acquire of 14 and he ran over New York’s Tony Adams alongside the sideline. And from there, it was the Ray Davis present because the rookie carried six occasions for 48 yards earlier than Josh Allen plowed in from the 1.
It was nine-play, 70-yard drive, and the Payments even overcame a penalty on the 1 that pushed them again 5 yards.
Jets 3, Payments 0: Greg Zuerlein makes discipline objective on first possession
Buffalo gained the coin toss, deferred because it likes to do, after which the protection went out and appeared fairly uninspiring on the Jets opening possession. New York moved proper downfield and the one factor that stopped Aaron Rodgers was a 3rd down dropped move by Breece Corridor, so the Jets settled for a 34-yard Greg Zuerlein discipline objective.
Rodgers accomplished a 24-yard move to Garrett Wilson to get the Jets into discipline objective place, a play the place Dorian Williams missed an open discipline sort out.
James Cook dinner inactive however Khalil Shakir, Taron Johnson are enjoying for Payments
As anticipated as soon as we noticed that Frank Gore was referred to as up from the follow squad, Cook dinner is not going to be enjoying Monday evening as a result of toe damage he suffered final week in Houston.
Nevertheless, the Payments are getting again their most efficient receiver as Shakir might be again after getting harm in Baltimore after which lacking the Houston recreation.
Additionally, Johnson might be enjoying for the primary time because the first quarter of the season opener towards Arizona when he suffered a damaged forearm. The Payments’ protection has sorely missed Johnson, notably within the final two losses to the Ravens and Texans. His return ought to assist solidify the Payments run protection in addition to his slot protection, the place he’s more likely to see a wholesome dose of the Jets finest receiver, Garrett Wilson who strains up within the slot about one-third of the time.
We already knew defensive sort out Ed Oliver can be inactive, and he’s joined by Cook dinner, LBs Joe Andreessen and Edefuan Ulofoshio, OL Will Clapp, and FS Mike Edwards.
Payments elevate RB Frank Gore from follow squad
We gained’t know for positive whether or not RB James Cook dinner is enjoying till the inactive listing is introduced at 6:45, however a sign that he may not comes through the information that Gore is being added to the 53-man roster.
There may be nonetheless an opportunity that Cook dinner might be obtainable, and maybe Gore is just up in case there’s a flip for the more severe. He may very well be inactive. Or, it may very well be that each gamers might be lively and Gore might be nothing greater than an insurance coverage coverage.
The excellent news for the Payments is that by not elevating a large receiver from the follow squad, that would appear to say that Khalil Shakir goes to play. Like Cook dinner, he was listed as questionable for the sport.

After I made my unique decide early within the week, I had the Payments successful the sport. Now that the Jets have switched head coaches, and it’s trying like each Cook dinner and Shakir might be unable to play for an offense that’s already struggling mightily, I’ve to change. My sense is that the Jets protection, which stays probably the greatest within the league, goes to present the Payments’ punchless offense suits, and the Jets are additionally going to get an impressed effort as they play for a brand new head coach, plus could have passing recreation coordinator Todd Downing calling the offensive performs as a substitute of beleaguered Nathaniel Hackett.
