The last game of Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season is set to feature a clash between two sides who have been in the news recently. The NFL game tonight will feature two teams from the AFC East who are on a 2-game losing streak. But one of them is going to emerge victorious. So, what teams are playing Monday Night Football tonight? Let’s find out!
Week 6 Monday Night Football game will feature a clash between the New York Jets (2-3) and the Buffalo Bills (3-2). The Jets will be hosting the Bills at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which also acts as the home stadium for Aaron Rodgers and co.
The Bills were flying high in their first 3 games with wins over the Cardinals, Dolphins and Jaguars. But Lamar Jackson and the Ravens derailed their campaign, with C. J. Stroud and co. handing them their second loss. The Jets have their fair share of problems. Be it the firing of Robert Saleh or an offense that just can’t rush the ball, the New York Jets are in dire need of a plan that sees them through to the playoffs.
And maybe, they can achieve the same under the new interim HC Jeff Ulbrich. Speaking about the Jets’ plan to commit to the running game, NFL Insider Jay Glazer shared that Aaron Rodgers is fully onboard with the plan. The Jets currently rank 30th out of the 32 teams, averaging 80.4 yards per game with a dismal 3.6 yards per carry average.
The Buffalo Bills lead the New York Jets in the overall head-to-head record by 69-58. In the last 5 games, the Buffalo Bills hold a 3-2 advantage over the Jets. But interestingly, the Jets have managed to defend their home turf the last 2 times the teams have met. The last game between the two AFC East sides was played on November 19, 2023. The Buffalo Bills emerged victorious in a lopsided affair by 32-6.
