Bills can't let Jets' ugly record hide a dangerous offense

The Bills' defense will get a much tougher test Sunday than the last two weeks playing a Jets offense with good, young talent.

Bills can't let Jets' ugly record hide a dangerous offense

Orchard Park - The New York Jets are on the verge of ending a 16-year NFL playoff drought, but their current 2-7 record and four-game losing streak may hide the fact that their offense is indeed quite dangerous. Veteran quarterback Geno Smith, who returned to the Jets after stints with the Chargers, Seahawks, and Raiders, has shown promise in keeping himself in great shape for his age and communicating effectively with his team.

The Jets boast a talented roster of wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, and an offensive line, which sets them up for a strong offensive season. Smith's performance metrics are impressive, ranking seventh in EPA passing success rate, fifth in completion percentage, and fourth in long completions. The Jets' red zone struggles, however, have been a significant issue, with a lower EPA success rate and completion percentage in that area.

Nevertheless, coach Aaron Glenn and Geno Smith remain optimistic about the team's potential to turn things around and challenge their defensive opponents.
