Jets Signal More Aggressive Plan Against Bills

New York Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said the team understands it may need to take more risks when it faces the Buffalo Bills on November 15. The Jets enter the matchup at 2-7, while Buffalo’s offense leads the league in points and total yards, the report said.

Reich pointed to fourth-down decisions as one area where the opponent’s scoring ability can affect the team’s approach. He said the decisions depend on the circumstances of the game, but facing a high-scoring team can change how aggressively a team should act.

The Jets may also look to attack downfield. Buffalo’s defense ranks 29th against the pass, and New York is expected to have leading receiver Garrett Wilson available after he missed last week with a concussion. Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell are among the other receivers the Jets could use.

The matchup presents a challenge for a Jets team that has often played close games. New York will need a strong performance from both its coaching staff and offense to keep pace with Buffalo, the report said. Its approach on fourth down and ability to test the Bills’ secondary could be central to the contest.
