Capaccio: Bills at Jets: Sal's keys, notes and stats

East Rutherford, New Jersey (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills will look to continue their winning ways and dominance over the Jets when they play them in New Jersey on Sunday. With a win, the Bills will move to 8-1 on the season. In order to get it, here are my three keys to the game, plus notes and stats:

KEYS

• Don’t let the Jets hang around

The anatomy of any upset is for the underdog to stay in the game as long as possible and then make a play or two to swing the contest. The Bills are the better team. The Jets are desperate to save any hope they have in their season. Buffalo needs to crush any of that as quickly as possible and not let New York hang around to give them that belief and ultimate chance.

• Run the ball

The Bills did a nice job of sticking with the run game last week, even though it was a grind. They ultimately got to what they needed against the Vikings. This week they are facing the 26th ranked run defense, but a Jets team that is allowing less than 200-yard a game through the air. The Bills should have opportunities to control the game on the ground, taking less off Josh Allen and the passing game. If they can do that, it will go a long way towards a victory.

• Contain the Jets receivers

The Jets have a plethora of pass catchers, including wide receivers Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and Omar Cooper, Jr.. The Bills have done a much better job against the pass over the last couple of weeks facing the Ravens and Vikings. But quarterback Geno Smith will look to get the ball to these wideouts. Buffalo needs to be aware of this group and make sure none of them gets rolling.
