The Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets are playing on the Thursday night football NFL schedule for Week 10 and the game is on the NFL Network starting at 8:25 pm ET. The game is an AFC East matchup and has Rex Ryan coming in to meet his old team at MetLife Stadium for the first time since heading to Buffalo.
This game is a big one for both teams, as the Jets are in position to make the playoffs this year, while Buffalo also is in the mix at 4-4 this season. The Jets are 5-3 and this game could help decide the wild card depending on how the rest of the season plays out. Both teams are dealing with players coming in banged up, but the injury report should not keep out any of the main players.
LeSean McCoy is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he is expected to play, while Karlos Williams comes back after dealing with a concussion a couple weeks ago. Williams returned last week and had over 100 yards and so did McCoy despite dealing with a shoulder injury. Percy Harvin was recently placed on season ending injured reserve and that puts a focus on Sammy Watkins. Watkins has been banged up all season and he is dealing with an ankle injury, but he is expected to play and comes in after having his best game of the season.

The Bills come in after getting a win over the Dolphins in a divisional game, while the Jets held on to beat the lowly Jaguars in a close game. The Bills named IK Enemkpali as one of the captains for this game, as Rex Ryan likes to give players who were on the team the Bills face the honor of being a captain, bit this one was a little different. Enemkpali of course was the player who knocked Geno Smith out for the start of the season with a punch that gave the QB a broken jaw.
Ryan was fired as head coach of the Jets and now Todd Bowles takes over and so far the season has been mostly a success for the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick faces off against one of his old teams despite dealing with a hand injury and he could have hand surgery on Friday after the game. The Jets have lost the last three games to the Bills and the team is trying to get to 6-3 on the season and that would put them in good position to make a playoff run. Chris Ivory has had a slow run over the past few weeks and now he will try and get things going against one of the tougher run defenses in the league.
