The Buffalo Bills have been dethroned as the AFC East champions but are still heading to the postseason, so the Jets could see plenty of rotation from a team than beat them 30-10 back in September.
Let’s break down the Bills’ roster going position by position:
Quarterbacks
The reigning MVP, Josh Allen, hasn’t been as good this year as he was last year, as he’s thrown 10 interceptions. However, he’s actually posted better numbers for completion percentage, passing yards per game, yards per attempt and quarterback rating. He has also rushed for more yards and touchdowns on his way to another pro bowl appearance.
Reports indicate that Allen might not play the whole game on Sunday, which potentially puts backup Mitchell Trubisky into the spotlight.
Trubisky has 57 starts in his NFL career but is just 0-2 in the past three seasons and last won a start back in 2022 with Pittsburgh. He’s thrown just six passes all year.
The Bills don’t have a number three on the roster or practice squad, so Allen may be need to stay alert if he leaves the game, in case Trubisky gets hurt.
Offensive Line
Buffalo has had a healthy offensive line for most of the year, as they brought back a group that already had plenty of experience of playing together.
The interior trio of David Edwards at left guard, O’Cyrus Torrence on the right and Connor McGovern at center have all played over 1,000 snaps for the second year in a row. McGovern has yet to give up a sack.
The tackles are Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins. For the fifth straight year, Dawkins was voted to the pro bowl. That’s despite the fact that he leads the Bills with six sacks allowed and 10 offensive penalties.
The only reserves to start any games were backup tackle Ryan Van Demark and Alec Anderson, who each started against Pittsburgh when Dawkins and Brown were both out. Van Demark also started two other games in place of Brown. Anderson can also play inside or as a jumbo package tight end.
Backup center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger has only played 22 snaps all year and sixth round rookie Chase Lundt has played just three snaps. Lundt is now on injured reserve so Tylan Grable is now on the roster in his place.
Running Backs
James Cook is heading back to the pro bowl as well, as he leads the NFL with 1,606 rushing yards this year. He also has 14 total touchdowns and has caught 33 passes.
Ray Davis rushed for 442 yards as a rookie, including 97 against the Jets, but he hasn’t played as much this year and has less than 150 rushing yards. Davis and Ex-Jet Ty Johnson might get more action than usual on Sunday if the Bills opt to rest Cook down the stretch. Johnson is a solid third down back who has accounted for 19 first downs this year.
Fullback Reggie Gilliam has touched the ball just once all...
