Cons
The New York Jets O-line grades out as the 5th-worst in the NFL this year in protecting the QB, which has a harmful effect on all pass attack metrics across the board.
The Buffalo Bills defense has yielded the 7th-least receiving yards per game in the NFL (just 39.0) vs. TEs this year.
The Buffalo Bills pass defense has displayed good efficiency against TEs this year, allowing 6.10 yards-per-target to the position: the 5th-least in the league.
The Buffalo Bills linebackers profile as the best collection of LBs in the NFL this year in covering receivers.
The New York Jets have gone up against a stacked the box on a measly 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in football. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
