Live Updates of Jets vs. Bills: TV Info and Week 6 Predictions for ‘Monday Night Football’
Tonight, the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets meet in an important AFC East clash on “Monday Night Football.”
The Jets (2-3) come into this game following a disappointing defeat against the Minnesota Vikings in London. This loss led to the firing of head coach Robert Saleh, causing considerable alarm in Florham Park.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich has a tough challenge ahead: he must resolve the Jets’ offensive issues while the Bills arrive at MetLife Stadium eager for a win after losing their past two games.
The Bills have had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, but their quarterback, Josh Allen, is performing well, supported by new offensive talents. Although Allen has historically struggled against the Jets, he has a chance this week to exploit a team facing difficulties.

Frank Gore Jr. Set for NFL Debut
Due to running back James Cook being out with a toe injury, the Buffalo Bills have promoted Frank Gore Jr. from their practice squad, allowing him to make his first appearance in a regular-season NFL game.
At 22, Gore is following in the footsteps of his father, Frank Gore, a former NFL running back who played one season with the Bills in 2019 before joining the Jets in 2020. The younger Gore was signed by Buffalo as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL Draft.
During his four seasons at Southern Miss, Gore Jr. accumulated 4,022 rushing yards and scored 26 touchdowns. He also made 75 receptions for 692 yards and added four more touchdowns through the air.

Why the Jets Dismissed Robert Saleh
The Jets made the decision to let go of Robert Saleh after experiencing difficulty in achieving consistent victories over his three-plus years as head coach.
Jets owner Woody Johnson expressed in a statement, “This was a tough decision, but our current status does not meet our expectations. I believe it’s the right time to pursue a new direction.”
Saleh concluded his tenure with a 20-36 record. Despite having one of the top-ranked defenses in the league, the Jets’ offenses struggled considerably.
