The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for a crucial Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets, with playoff implications hanging in the balance. Currently, the Bills are aiming to secure the No. 2 seed in the AFC; a single victory in their last two games would solidify this position. Despite being unable to clinch the top seed, the team is focused on making the necessary adjustments to enhance their chances of success.
In preparation for the upcoming game, the Bills have made significant roster moves, adding wide receiver Tyrell Shavers and safety Lewis Cine to their active roster. These additions suggest that Curtis Samuel may be unavailable for the game, while also addressing depth concerns at safety due to injuries to Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp.
On the other side, the Jets have also made roster adjustments, activating kicker Greg Zuerlein and elevating defensive lineman Bruce Hector. The Bills are looking to rebound after a disappointing performance against the New England Patriots in Week 16. With the opportunity to secure a playoff spot, the team is expected to come out strong and make a statement against their division rivals. The outcome of this game could influence their strategy heading into Week 18, where they may consider resting key players if they clinch the No. 2 seed.
As game time approaches, the Bills are hopeful for positive injury updates, but they enter the game as favorites to win and secure their playoff position.
