The Buffalo Bills will roll on with their 2026 NFL regular season on Sunday with their next game en route against the New York Jets. Kickoff from MetLife Stadium will take place at 1 p.m.
The Jets head to western New York in dire need of a win. New York sits at 2-7 and hope to rebuild their franchise's culture.
Meanwhile, the Bills are fresh off a win against the Minnesota Vikings.
Between two such teams, what should you keep in mind during the contest?
With that, here are Bills Wire's five things to watch for in Week 10:
Does new player suit up?
There will be a lot of eyes on the Bills' secondary when this game kicks off. For once, for an optimistic reason.
The Bills landed safety Amani Hooker in a trade from the Tennessee Titans this week at the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
But that still begs the question, does he make his debut for Buffalo on Sunday? Or will he need more time to prepare?
Hooker himself insists he will be ready. That's what everyone will be itching to see.
Ground game to lead the way?
Quarterback Josh Allen will always have his input for the Bills offense. But expect running back James Cook to have plenty of opportunities.
The Jets allow and average of 128.0 yards per game on the ground, ranking 26th in the NFL. Last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, New York allowed 163 total rushing yards. Both Allen and Cook could be using their legs plenty in this one.
Jets' building blocks
The Jets are rebuilding, but have talent.
Sunday will be the first time the Bills see a few youthful faces on New York's roster that have started their NFL careers very well. The Jets have three first-round picks that are all contributing this season: Pass rusher David Bailey, wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., and tight end Kenyon Sadiq.
Of the trio, No. 2 overall selection at the 2026 NFL Draft in Bailey, has really stood out with 7.5 sacks this season.
O-line injuries building up for Bills?
The health along the Bills' offensive line is worrisome right now.
Players in the trenches that need watching this week are: Right tackle Spencer Brown (ankle), left tackle Dion Dawkins (rib) and left guard Alec Anderson (ankle).
Of those three, Brown is the most concerning. Brown suited up and played against the Vikings a week ago. However, he missed practice on Thursday. Which starters will manager to play in New York?
Rumblings of a 'home game'
This is the Bills' first road game of the season in the AFC East. But is it going to look like it is being played in Orchard Park? StubHub says yes. Tickets on the secondary market are pushing $200 and the Jets are not a good team. That could only mean one thing. Bills Mafia is going to be there.
Can the Bills players on the field take advantage of that?
