The Buffalo Bills will march into MetLife Stadium to face the Aaron Glenn-led New York Jets and know that this will be anything but a cake walk.
While the Bills managed a superb win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, the Jets fell to Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers and gave up 34 points in the process.
With Glenn keeping an eye on the defense, which sacked Rodgers four times, Josh Allen knows that the group he goes against Sunday will be vastly different from a year ago.
“I think it's a different outfit," Allen said. “They got some absolute studs on this defense. Obviously, their front is really solid, they get after the quarterback really well. They work together, and their front end and the back end are working in unison right now. So, we're going to have our hands full, and we only have one game of tape, so we got to trust our base rules and be prepared for whatever they can throw at us.”

Bills ready for war vs. Jets
It is worth noting that the Jets won every major statistical category against the Steelers, except the one that really mattered - the scoreline.
Plus, with monsters along the defensive line in Will McDonald and Quinnen Williams, Allen and his offensive line are going to have their work cut out for them to keep them at bay.
Last season, the Bills beat the Jets by only three points in Week 6, before blasting them 40-14 in Week 17, so Buffalo will be looking to continue the pain in Week 2.
And as Allen stated, the offense has to be prepared for whatever Glenn throws at them, and the element of surprise could work to New York's advantage.
But will Buffalo have enough to counter it? We think so.
