After averaging 13.3 points per game over the team's first six games, the Jets offense has averaged 32 points per game the past two weeks, No. 4 in the NFL in that span. The Green & White's 997 yards of total offense in the past two games is third-most in a two-game span in franchise history and their combined 812 net passing yards against the Bengals and the Colts are the second-most in back-to-back games.
This week, the Jets will face the NFL's No. 1 defense, which is atop the league in total yards (262.2 yds/g), passing yards (177.0 yds/g) and scoring (14.75 pts/g). It ranks top 5 in rushing and takeaways, too.
"They kind of slid back to the rest of the pack [in 2020]," Bills team reporter Chris Brown said. "The two years before that, they were No. 2 and No. 3 in pass defense and they were in the top 10-12 in points allowed. They're back to that this year mainly because of the continuity on that side of the ball. A lot of these guys have played together three or four years. … They have seven different players with interceptions this year.
"It's a defense that's designed to stop the pass, so if you can buck up and play physical with them at the line of scrimmage and run the football, you might be able to put some points on the board."
