His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>In a time of uncertainty, one thing Miami Dolphins fans can bank on is Tyreek Hill sharing his thoughts. The All-Pro wide receiver took to social media to comment on what was a highly active day around the league, one that <a href="https://x.com/cheetah/status/1846308011113107755" rel="noopener">specifically impacts his division</a>.</p><p>“WR position getting interesting over here in the AFC East,” Hill posted on X, formerly Twitter, referencing the big Davante Adams and Amari Cooper trades that occurred on Tuesday. The Dolphins’ potential climb up the standings just got even more arduous.</p><p>Off the heels of another frustrating loss, the New York Jets finally pulled the trigger and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-breaks-silence-davante-adams-trade">reunited Adams with quarterback Aaron Rodgers</a>. They sent a conditional third-round draft pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in return, ending a saga that made both fan bases fidget for different reasons. The Adams situation ultimately unfolded as many expected, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-bills-browns-amari-cooper-trade">Buffalo Bills surprisingly completed a blockbuster</a> of their own several hours later.</p><p>Cooper was languishing with the Cleveland Browns, as a depleted offensive line and limited Deshaun Watson continue to scuffle. He can be a coveted target for star quarterback Josh Allen, who had been lacking a true No. 1 receiver to trust in big moments. Cooper might be the boost the team needs to compete with the best the AFC has to offer.</p><p>While the Jets try to save their season and the Bills try to lengthen theirs, the Dolphins (2-3) are stuck in a tricky spot. Fans do not know when Tua Tagovailoa will be back under center and are putting much of their faith in the superbly talented Tyreek Hill. He is understandably underwhelming without his starting QB, but perhaps the influx of star wideouts will give him some extra motivation.</p><h2><b>Tyreek Hill must produce at a high level again if the Phins have any hope</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Tyreek-Hill-Jaguars-Dolphins.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Super Bowl 54 champion and eight-time Pro Bowl selection has just 286 receiving yards and one touchdown through Miami’s first five games. Neither Tyler Huntley nor Skylar Thompson are able to effectively move the chains, causing the production of Hill and Jaylen Waddle to plummet to frightening levels.</p><p>Hill surely wants to reassert himself as the premier pass-catcher in the league, let alone the AFC East, but it is difficult to fathom a surge while the Phins are in this current state. However, the schedule might present both him and the team with a get-right opportunity.</p><p>Following the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tyreek-hill-instant-post-ugly-win-patriots">Dolphins’ ugly win</a> over the New England Patriots in Week 5, which Hill seemed to overemphasize, they face the beatable Indianapolis Colts (3-3) and inconsistent Arizona Cardinals (2-4) in the next two games. Miami must capitalize on what would normally be a soft part of the schedule and stay afloat with the rest of the division.</p><p>Now that Davante Adams and Amari Cooper are joining the fray, Tyreek Hill will want to send a message to the newcomers and fans alike that he is the wide receiver king of the AFC East. But is determination enough to overcome the enormous hurdle that stands in his and the Dolphins’ way?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Acquire Daniel Brunskill from the Titans for a sixth-round pick</b></h2><p>With wide receiver officially off of the Bills’ wishlist, the team needs to focus on their offensive line, which has been less than ideal through the first six weeks of the 2024 NFL season.</p><p>While his sack total is actually down on the season, with Allen on pace to be sacked a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2024.htm" rel="noopener">career-low 22.6 times in 2024</a>, that could change quickly, especially if one of the starters, David Edwards, O’Cyrus Torrence, or center Connor McGovern goes down with a season-ending injury or worse.</p><p>Enter Daniel Brunskill, the journeyman offensive lineman who has played professional snaps at all five spots along the offensive line.</p><p>Coming to fame as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, where he played center, right guard, and occasional swing tackle for Kyle Shanahan’s offense, Brunskill signed a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrunDa00/gamelog/2024/" rel="noopener">two-year, $5.5 million contract</a> with the Titans in 2023, reuniting with his former executive, Ran Carthon, in Tenessee. After starting 14 games as the Titans’ right guard in 2023, Brunskill has shifted to reserve duty in 2024, backing up Dillon Radunz, Lloyd Cushenberry III, and Peter Skoronski while logging just the occasional offensive snap.</p><p>Now, for a team with playoff aspirations like the Bills, having a do-it-all interior lineman who can play a premier reserve role or even start if another player is having issues is a godsend, as the season won’t suddenly fall apart if someone suffers an injury, but the Titans? The 1-4 Titans? Yeah, if one of their linemen were to suffer an injury, conventional wisdom would suggest the team would be better off playing a youngster in the hopes they develop instead of letting Brunskill soak up snaps on his way to a new team in 2025.</p><p>If the Titans go full-on fire sale, giving up something like a sixth-round pick for Brunskill could seriously benefit the Bills down the stretch.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Azeez-Ojulari-on-the-field-for-the-Giants.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>2. Acquire Azeez Ojulari from the Giants for a conditional fifth</b></h2><p>With wide receiver squared away, the Bills might now want to focus on procuring some help on the defensive side of the ball, be that in the defensive secondary, at linebacker, or on the defensive line.</p><p>In an ideal world, maybe the Bills could find a quality cornerback who can press at the line and hit opposite Rasul Douglas, but unless Tre’Davious White gets released by the Rams, which is possible, there really isn’t an ideal fit on the market for what Buffalo likes to do. Sure, they could acquire a player like Emmanuel Forbes, who they have been linked to in the past, but he largely isn’t playing for Washington because he’s too slight and a liability against receivers like AJ Brown.</p><p>No, the Bills are stuck with only a few million dollars to spend and only a few sellers on the market, and as a result, they will have to pursue who is available and hope they can slide in at the right spot.</p><p>Fortunately, <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/O/OjulAz00.htm" rel="noopener">Azeez Ojulari from the New York Giants</a> fits the Bills’ bill, as he’s a former second-round pick on the last year of his rookie contract on a team that simply doesn’t want to play, let alone pay him long-term.</p><p>Standing 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, Ojulari hit the ground running as a pro, picking up eight sacks and a forced fumble as a rookie in 2021 and 5.5 sacks plus three forced fumbles in 2022 before falling out of the Giants’ starting lineup in 2023-24. Sure, he’s played 155 snaps in 2024, good for 43 percent of the Giants’ output, but he’s firmly behind Kayvon Thibodeaux and Bobby Okereke on the depth chart, even if the former is currently on IR.</p><p>Could the Giants opt to keep him around for the final year of his rookie contract in the hopes that he breaks out? Would his agent be willing to accept a below-market contract if that happens in order to help out the Giants long-term? Technically both are possible, but neither feels particularly likely.</p><p>No, if the Giants receiver a compelling offer for Ojulari’s services, call it a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick that goes up based on sack total or his contract status in 2025, they would probably accept it and would be right to do so, especially considering the Bills’ seeming desire to go all in on the 2024 NFL season.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Amari-Cooper-playing-against-the-Bills-1.jpg"><figcaption>Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Bills Bonus: Amari Cooper is a worthy Stefon Diggs replacement<br></b></h2><p>While some fans have questioned the idea of<a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DiggSt00.htm" rel="noopener"> trading Diggs for a second-round pick</a> only to then give up a three and change for Cooper, as they could have just kept the pride of Maryland and been done with it, fans shouldn’t fret the price when the results are what truly matters.</p><p>Through the first six weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Bills didn’t have a true X receiver. They tried Shakir at the position, gave Coleman a shot, and tried out Mack Hollins as a big, shoeless outside option, but through it all, whichever player drew the X spot consistently underperformed, and Allen was forced to throw inside or underneath as a result.</p><p>In Cooper, the Bills have landed a legitimate X who is presumably eager to play on a winner and will presumably be willing to have easier negotiations with the former Brown than they would have if Diggs was still in town.

Well, you've come to the right place.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>After officially making it official, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-amari-cooper-browns-blockbuster-trade">acquiring Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns</a> in concert with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-davante-adams-reunites-aaron-rodgers-trade-raiders">New York Jets’ successful pursuit of Davante Adams</a>, the Buffalo Bills looks like one of the best teams in the AFC. They have YAC specialists who shined without Stefon Diggs, a run game that worked, at least in Week 6, without James Cook, and a defense that, though imperfect, should keep them in games.</p><p>But how will it all work? Will Cooper immediately come in and become Josh Allen’s WR1, pushing Khalil Shakir back into a WR2 role while allowing Keon Coleman to develop on a more gradual trajectory? Or will they instead work Cooper in slowly, allowing him to get used to the offense before making any major changes to the game plan moving forward?</p><p>Discussing this very development with reporters shortly after the deal became official, Sean McDermott explained what he likes about the addition of Cooper and how his team <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcdermott-on-amari-cooper-well-get-him-up-to-speed-and-see-how-he-fits-in" rel="noopener">plans to incorporate him into the offense moving forward</a>.</p><p>“I think that remains to be seen [how much Cooper can help], right? He obviously was on a different team up until a couple of hours ago. We want to get him in here and get him up to speed on our terminology and our system and see how he fits in. Like I said, it’s never about one guy. It’s about the team and in this case the offense,” McDermott told reporters via NBC Sports.</p><p>“On paper, it’s one thing. At the end of the day, can the person play and help us? That’s really what we’re here to see over the next couple of days. I would hope the answer to all of that is yes. Going up against Amari and having a ton of respect for him and his game, but again, we have players in the building that we are already confident in, and he’ll fit into that equation and we’ll get him integrated and excited to see how quickly he can get up to speed here. Again, one player doesn’t save a team. One player doesn’t make a team. It’s about the team.”</p><p>Interesting stuff, right? You bet, but McDermott wasn’t done, as he wanted to touch on how Cooper’s new skillset will impact the team moving forward.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Amari-Cooper-playing-against-the-Bills.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Fuller-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Amari Cooper fills out the Bills’ offensive skillset</b></h2><p>On paper, acquiring Cooper is about as close to reacquiring Diggs from the Houston Texans as the Bills could hope for, as he’s a prototypical X receiver who can beat press coverage and win vertical battles down the sideline in a way no other player on the Bills currently can. While McDermott didn’t want to explicitly lay out expectations for the former Cowboy’s new role, he was willing to admit that Cooper brings something new to the table and, as a result, could assist the offense in becoming more complex attack moving forward.</p><p>“Everyone in that room before Amari was here had a slightly different skill set,” McDermott said. “So, now it’s truly and how it’s going to fit into the room and how our system can use Amari’s strengths to make our system better.”</p><p>With Cooper now locked in, the Bills easily have one of the best offenses in the AFC, with a chance to outgun darn near every team in the NFL, period, if Allen is playing up to his standards. Really, the question now becomes how quickly can Cooper and Allen get on the same page, and what does that look like moving forward with a true WR1 now back in the Bills gameplan?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are a lot of questions surrounding the Titans and their offense because Will Levis has struggled and might get benched sooner rather than later.</p><p>The Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL. They are 4-2, with wins against the Cardinals, Dolphins, Jaguars, and Jets and losses to the Ravens and Texans. The Bills lead the AFC East, and Josh Allen is the frontrunner to win the MVP award.

Their offense has been a big struggle. They average 253.2 yards per game, which is second to last in the NFL. Then, they are only scoring 19.2 points per game. Will Levis has struggled this season with 699 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions with a 66.4% completion percentage. Tony Pollard has had a solid season on the ground this season, with 78 carries for 339 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The receiving corps has been awful, with the leading receiver being DeAndre Hopkins with 14 receptions for 175 yards and one touchdown.</p><p>The Titans’ defense has been great. They allow 248.8 total yards per game, which is the best in the NFL, and 22 points per game. They also have the best passing defense in the NFL, allowing 137 yards through the air. This defense has a lot of talent as well with Jeffrey Simmons being a leader up front for the Titans and with Harold Landry III and Ernest Jones IV at linebacker. Then, in an elite secondary that features Quandre Diggs, Amani Hooker, and L’Jarius Sneed. This defense has a huge challenge against the Bills too.</p><h2><b>Why The Bills Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Bills have been great this season. They have been humming on offense for the most part up to this point in the year. They average 309.7 yards per game and score 27.5 points per game. The offense goes as Josh Allen goes under center. He has 1,160 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and zero interceptions with a 62.8% completion percentage. The running game has been great with James Cook. Cook has 309 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 70 carries. Khalil Shakur has been solid in the receiving corps, but they just got even better with the addition of Amari Cooper after a trade with the Browns.</p><p>The Bills’ defense has been solid this season but also inconsistent at times. They allow 350.8 yards per game and 21 points per game. They have been great against the pass, allowing 210 yards per game, but have struggled against the running game this season. The defense has talent, too, with Greg Rousseau and Ed Oliver up front and Rasul Douglas and Taylor Rapp in the secondary.</p><h2><b>Final Titans-Bills Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Bills had a massive win on Monday Night, and while I completely understand that the Titans are struggling, the Titans should cover in this game. They have an elite defense, and I do think they can keep things somewhat close, even if it’s a late cover. I trust this defense and their running game to slow things down and keep the ball away from Josh Allen. The Bills are the better team and should win at home, but expect Tennessee to cover.</p><p><b>Final Titans-Bills Prediction &amp; Pick: Tennessee Titans +8.5 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I’m sure to see it up close and personal and play alongside him, I’m sure it’s going to be great.</p><p>“I’ve been in this situation before, so that helps. I’m just excited to turn a new chapter and to be able to contribute.”</p><p>Earlier this season, when Cooper was in trade rumors while the San Francisco 49ers were looking to possibly move Brandon Aiyuk, he made another cryptic post on Instagram saying, “lol I wouldn’t mind at all.” Since the beginning, it’s felt like the writing has been on the wall for Cooper to be moved, it was just a matter of when.</p><h2>Bills trade for Amari Cooper</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Amari-Cooper_1818ee.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Amari Cooper was traded from the Browns, as they sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Bills for a 2025 third-round and 2026 seventh-round pick. The Bills were in need of a true No. 1 receiver after trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans during the offseason. There’s no doubt that Cooper will be the top option now, and Josh Allen and the offense can continue to be dominant as always.</p><p>For the Browns, the question remains what they will do as their season has been very disappointing, most notably on the offensive side of the ball. Many people are wondering if head coach Kevin Stefanski will make the decision and bench Deshaun Watson for Jameis Winston, but as of now, it looks like he’s sticking with his quarterback.</p><p>With Cooper gone, it may be even more difficult for the Browns to get much production on offense, and players such as Jerry Jeudy will have to step up. Nick Chubb should be returning soon as well, which may do something for the Browns running game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Buffalo hung on to beat the New York Jets 23-20 and improve to 4-2 on the season. And the team got another win on Tuesday when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-amari-cooper-browns-blockbuster-trade">Bills landed veteran receiver Amari Cooper in a trade</a> with the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>The five-time Pro Bowl WR had been in Cleveland since 2022 and put up back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons entering 2024. The Bills get Cooper and a sixth-round draft pick in 2025 and send the Browns a third-round pick in next year’s draft as well as a seventh rounder in 2026.</p><p>The paltry return for a difference-making wideout had Pat McAfee stunned. “This one <a href="https://x.com/ESPNNFL/status/1846268894010364404" rel="noopener">feels like a heist</a>,” he said of the trade, via NFL on ESPN. “Wow. That feels real light to get Amari Cooper on your team. That is insane to add an instant playmaker,” McAfee said. “Josh Allen just got a great weapon… Congrats to the Bills,” he added, per NFL on ESPN.</p><p>Cooper is making just $1.2 million in 2024, and the Bills will <a href="https://x.com/FieldYates/status/1846253207493738912" rel="noopener">take on $807K</a> of his salary, per ESPN’s Field Yates on X.

The Browns are in the midst of a season that is getting away from them quickly after another deflating loss to fall to 1-5.</p><p>The Cooper trade is the second massive wide receiver domino to fall on Tuesday after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jets-raiders-davante-adams-trade">Jets acquired Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders</a>.</p><h2><b>Bills add No. 1 receiver to bolster passing game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Josh-Allen_4b454e.jpg"><figcaption>Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It can’t be overstated how big this deal is for the Bills. Cooper may not be at the level of the best of the best wideouts in the NFL, but he’s still an elite route runner who can make plays at all three levels of the field. He gives the Bills offense a separator who can beat man coverage, which is something that they were desperately missing.</p><p>In Buffalo’s two losses this season, its opponents challenged their receivers to win on the outside, and they couldn’t do it. Josh Allen and the offense struggled mightily against man coverage against the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens, but that becomes much tougher to do now with Cooper in the fold.</p><p>We’ve seen in the past what Allen can do when he has a go-to guy on the outside. The loss of Stefon Diggs, for all of the issues that he and the Bills had by the end of their pairing, has been felt, and he took Allen to a different level in the passing game. Cooper has a chance to have the same effect. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-amari-cooper-addresses-swirling-trade-rumors">Cooper must be excited to get to Buffalo</a> as well, moving away from the dismal and inept passing game in Cleveland. He has had some drops, but 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns in six games is not nearly enough production for his skill level.</p><p>Cooper’s <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1846256288478445967" rel="noopener">contract is another bonus</a> on top of this deal for the Bills. The Browns converted most of Cooper’s salary this year to a signing bonus before the season started, which means that the Bills now owe Cooper less than $1 million for the rest of this season.</p><p>There is the risk of this being a rental for the Bills, as Cooper’s contract is up at the end of this season. If that ends up being the case, then the draft compensation is steep for just 11 games plus the playoffs. However, if everything works out as it should, Cooper should sign an extension with the Bills, and he fills their biggest weakness at the start of this season.</p><p><b>Bills grade: A</b></p><h2>Browns make necessary move in the middle of lost season</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Watson.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Amari Cooper trade is an official signal of something that just about everyone watching the Browns this season already knew. This season is over. Cleveland is 1-5, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-deshaun-watson-stat-so-bad-think-its-fake">Deshaun Watson is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL</a> right now, and he can’t be benched because of his massive contract. By all indications, the Browns are ready to ride the Watson train all the way to the end of the tracks in 11 weeks when the train crashes and everyone loses their job.</p><p>While it is a complete surrender on this season, the move to get off of Cooper is a sound one by the front office. There was no indication that Cooper wanted to be in Cleveland past this season, so moving his expiring contract for a day two draft pick is good business. However, it’s little consolation for the depths of despair that they are staring down moving forward.</p><p>In the short term, head coach Kevin Stefanski and Watson will try to work with Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore as their top wideouts with David Njoku in line for more targets at tight end.</p><p>The Browns won’t have very many avenues of acquiring talent outside of the NFL Draft in the coming seasons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-nfl-insider-reveals-way-out-of-deshaun-watson">due to Watson’s contract</a>, so any picks that they can scoop up are helpful. Getting a third-rounder for a player who they would likely lose for nothing this offseason is a solid deal, especially after Adams went for a third that could become a second earlier in the day.</p><p><b>Browns grade: B-</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the latest trade, Amari Cooper has received this message three times in his NFL career. On Tuesday, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-amari-cooper-browns-blockbuster-trade">Cleveland Browns traded the 30-year-old wideout to the Buffalo Bills</a>. The 10-year veteran <a href="https://x.com/JosinaAnderson/status/1846255916343058706" rel="noopener">reacted to the news</a> like a pro, per NFL insider Josina Anderson.</p><p>“(General manager) Andrew Berry called me and told me what was going on. As far as playing with Josh (Allen) I’ve always been fan of his game. I’m sure to see it up close and personal and play alongside him, I’m sure it’s going to be great.</p><p>“I’ve been in this situation before, so that helps. I’m just excited to turn a new chapter and to be able to contribute.”</p><p>The Browns sent Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Bills for a 2025 third-round and 2026 seventh-round pick.</p><p>Cooper was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2015. During the 2018 season, he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-amari-cooper-reportedly-traded-to-dallas">traded to the Dallas Cowboys</a> for a 2019 first-round pick. Before the 2022 NFL season, Cooper was traded again, this time to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick.</p><h2><b>Bills jumpstart passing game with Amari Cooper</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Browns-Amari-Cooper-now-on-the-Buffalo-Bills-after-trade.jpg"><figcaption>© Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Are the Bills playing bad? Not really. But a certain something appeared to be missing when they played against the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, their two toughest opponents this season. They were outscored 53-30 in those contests. Against the Ravens, the Bills’ leading receiver was Khalil Shakir, who made four catches for 62 yards. Allen went 16-for-20 for 180 yards.</p><p>It didn’t get any better against the Texans as a dazed Allen completed just 9-of-30 for 131 yards and a score. Rookie WR Keon Coleman led all Bills receivers with one catch for 49 yards and a touchdown. No other pass catcher had more than two receptions.</p><p>Something needed to be done, and while Cooper is far from being a savior, he’s a proven commodity who’s accustomed to the pressures of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-amari-cooper-addresses-swirling-trade-rumors">being the new guy</a>.</p><p>The Bills also benefit greatly from the financial flexibility of adding Cooper, per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.</p><p>“The Browns converted $18.79 million of Amari Cooper’s $20M salary to a signing bonus back in March,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported after the trade. “Buffalo didn’t have the flexibility to pay Davante Adams $11.6 million for the rest of 2024 like the #Jets did. Now, they get Cooper for … $806,667.”</p><p>Buffalo needed to shake things up on offense and give Allen the true No. 1 receiver the team lacked. Winning against non-playoff teams like the Cardinals, Jaguars and Jets pads the win column, but getting handled by the AFC’s elite kicked the Bills’ front office into action.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The last day to make deals is a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/when-is-nfls-new-trade-deadline">week later than it historically is</a>, so it is possible more trades will occur than normal. The delayed deadline will create more clarity on who will be trade deadline buyers and who will be sellers.</p><p>Teams will have more time to evaluate if they are good enough to where adding some pieces through trade can help for a playoff/Super Bowl push or if their postseason odds are faint and they should trade away their best assets for future help. Trade deadline trades are occurring with more frequency than ever before. The 2022 deadline broke the record for deadline deals, <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/article/2023-nfl-trade-deadline-tracker-every-move-made/" rel="noopener">and eight</a> trades were made on the last day to do so last season.</p><p>The madness has already begun, too, as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jets-raiders-davante-adams-trade">Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets</a> on Oct. 15. The move reunites the receiver with Aaron Rodgers, and it might incentivize other teams to start making moves before deadline day even approaches. That was proven true when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-amari-cooper-browns-blockbuster-trade">Amari Cooper was traded to the Buffalo Bills</a> just hours after the Adams deal.</p><p>The new deadline date is seemingly making pre-deadline trades more common. Regardless, it is already becoming clear that this will be an active trade deadline. Here are the teams who we think will either be buyers or sellers on or before Nov. 5.</p><h2><b>Trade deadline buyers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Brett-Veach.jpeg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Detroit Lions</b></p><p>The Detroit Lions have been one of the best teams in the NFL this year, but they are in the best division in football. The NFC North has a combined record of 17-5, as the last-placed Green Bay Packers are even a respectable 4-2. The Lions’ offense has been incredible, as evidenced by their 47-point outburst against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.</p><p>However, their defense took a big hit in that game. Star pass rusher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-aidan-hutchinson-breaks-silence-on-scary-knee-injury">Aidan Hutchinson broke his leg</a> in gruesome fashion, and the team will now be without him for the rest of the season. Hutchinson has a league-leading 7.5 sacks this season, which made him one of the hottest players in football. Replacing his production will be next to impossible internally or externally, but the Lions would be smart to trade for a piece that can help.</p><p><b>Kansas City Chiefs</b></p><p>The Chiefs will always be trade deadline buyers as long as Patrick Mahomes is quarterbacking the team because they will always be in championship contention with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ranking-50-best-nfl-players-2024-season">best player in football</a> under center. Their likelihood of making a trade at this year’s trade deadline seems higher than ever before, even though the team has shown a willingness to make trades in the past.</p><p>Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Isiah Pacheco are all among the best offensive playmakers on the Chiefs’ deadly offense, but they all have injuries that will hold them out for all or most of the season. With Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the team’s offense will be okay, but they had a scary lineup before all of the injuries. Adding another offensive weapon would make sense, as it would help take a load off of the aging tight end.</p><p>Many questioned if the Chiefs would be fine without Tyreek Hill, and they’ve since won two straight Super Bowls, so adding more offensive talent isn’t necessarily a necessity, as Mahomes will thrive with whoever is catching his passes. The Chiefs are clearly in their championship window, though, and considering they’ve made deadline deals in the past, you can expect them to be busy on Nov. 5.</p><p><b>Minnesota Vikings</b></p><p>The Vikings have been the surprise team of the NFL so far. They are one of two undefeated teams left, but adding some more depth could be crucial because of how stacked the NFC North is. Many predicted the Vikings to struggle this season, as entering the year, Sam Darnold was viewed as one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ranking-all-32-nfl-starting-quarterbacks-ahead-of-the-2024-season">worst quarterbacks in football.</a></p><p>The signal-caller has had a breakout campaign on what is his fourth NFL team, though, and he is quickly proving that those who called him a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/biggest-nfl-draft-busts-of-all-time-ranked">draft bust</a> were wrong. Reinforcements are coming, as T.J. Hockenson is set to return from injury. Additionally, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is no stranger to trade deadline deals. He made a shocking, inner-divisional trade for the aforementioned tight end in 2022 despite division rivalry trades being a rarity. If the Vikings were willing to make a huge trade then, then they will surely be willing to do so now, considering the team is even more talented than it was back then.</p><p><b>Buffalo Bills</b></p><p>Financial problems led to the Bills moving on from a number of their best players in the offseason. Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer, and Micah Hyde all found new homes in the offseason, so the Bills were expected to take a step back. That hasn’t been the case, as Buffalo has a 4-2 record.</p><p>The team got off to a hot start and won each of their first three games. The trade deadline could be the time to replace some of the players lost in the offseason. Of course, the Bills likely won’t bring in highly paid superstars, considering the financially motivated moves that they made before the season. Adding bargain-bin talent makes a lot of sense for the Bills, though, especially on the defensive end.</p><p>The Bills proved their buyer status weeks before the deadline. Their acquisition of Amari Cooper gives Josh Allen a weapon unlike anything he has had before. The former Cleveland Browns receiver is one of the best route runners in football, and his addition puts to rest the question of who the team’s top receiver is.</p><p><b>Cincinnati Bengals</b></p><p>The Bengals got off to an even more brutal start this season than they normally have during the Joe Burrow era. Cincinnati was 1-4 before their Week 6 victory got them back on track. The Bengals have always been late bloomers, but they might need to add some pieces to push for the playoffs again this year.</p><p>The offense is set, but the defense is allowing 25.3 points per game, which ranks 26th in the league. The rushing defense, in particular, has been bad. The Bengals have already allowed 876 yards on the ground, so expect them to pursue more help for their front seven.</p><p><b>Houston Texans</b></p><p>The Texans’ rebuild was quick and efficient. Houston needed to hit on their draft picks to get to where they are at now, but they’ve also shown a willingness to make big trades. This was evident when they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/stefon-diggs-trade-grades-texans-bills-blockbuster">acquired Stefon Diggs</a> in the offseason. With the Chiefs riddled by injuries, now is the time to make a push for the Super Bowl. The Texans should try and continue to add talent at this year’s trade deadline.</p><p><b>Washington Commanders</b></p><p>The Commanders made a surprising trade just before the start of the regular season, as they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-philly-land-jahan-dotson-in-rare-trade-with-commanders">shipped Jahan Dotson off to the Philadelphia Eagles.</a> That was a seller’s move, but the Commanders should be buyers at the 2024 NFL trade deadline. Even without Dotson, Washington’s offense has been next to unstoppable.</p><p>Jayden Daniels is having one of the best rookie seasons we’ve ever seen. The first-year quarterback is completing 75.3% of his passes, which is historically efficient. The Commanders have proven that they can get things done without an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ranking-all-32-nfl-teams-receiving-corps-2024-season">elite receiving corps</a>, but they could use some help on defense. Washington doesn’t have a great secondary, and they could use more defensive backs to help out for the back half of the season.</p><p><b>San Francisco 49ers</b></p><p>The 49ers hadn’t done much losing with Brock Purdy as their quarterback. That was until this season. Right now, San Francisco is 3-3, but they still have a championship-caliber roster. After all, many predicted them to win the Super Bowl coming into the season, and it has mainly been injuries that have held them back so far.</p><p>The 49ers have looked better as players, including George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, have returned to health. They are still without Christian McCaffrey and Ricky Pearsall, though, and Dre Greenlaw and Javon Hargrave are out for the season. The 49ers still have a deep roster, but they need to replenish some of the depth they’ve lost because of injury. There are way too many talented football players on this team to waste a season.</p><h2><b>Trade deadline sellers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Amari-Cooper-drop.jpeg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Carolina Panthers</b></p><p>The Panthers were the worst team in the NFL last season, and that hasn’t changed this year. They’ve improved slightly since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-bryce-young-blindsided-panthers-decision-to-bench-him">benching former number one overall pick Bryce Young</a>, but that decision has left the team in a pickle. It is awfully early to give up on the Alabama product completely, but re-naming the quarterback the starter might be out of the picture, too.</p><p>Regardless, there are holes all over this roster, and not just at quarterback. The Panthers will lose a lot of games regardless of who is throwing the football this season, so they have their eyes on the future. The team traded a lot to land Young in the 2023 NFL Draft, and they should look to recoup picks by trading any veteran assets that they have at this year’s trade deadline.</p><p>Young himself could even be on the move, as a fresh start might not be the worst thing in the world, especially if the Panthers are able to get a sufficient trade package in return. At this point, though, Young’s potential value to the Panthers might be greater than the trade value they can get in return for him.</p><p><b>Tennessee Titans</b></p><p>That Titans have also struggled with quarterback play. Will Levis has had a rough sophomore campaign that has included a number of boneheaded plays. Now, the Titans are 1-4 and have only scored 96 total points. Levis still has potential, but the lack of team success and the uninspiring season from the quarterback means that Tennessee might be in on the sweepstakes for a rookie quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>If that is the case, then they have some intriguing players on the trade block who could net decent returns. Considering Davante Adams and Amari Cooper have already been moved, receiver-needy teams might look to Tennessee to try and pull off a trade for someone from their receiver room. DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, and Treylon Burks are potential trade candidates.</p><p><b>New England Patriots</b></p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-beats-jacoby-brissett-first-start">Drake Maye made his first start at quarterback</a> for the Patriots in Week 6. The third overall pick looked the part, as he threw for three touchdowns. He also displayed some rookie struggles, as he threw two interceptions. Maye is somewhat raw as a player, and while his potential is sky-high, it might take him a while to work out the kinks and lead the Patriots to a lot of wins, especially with the underwhelming talent around him.</p><p>The Patriots aren’t in the postseason hunt this year, so they should better their chances for the future by being trade deadline sellers. Surrounding Maye with more talent next year will be key, as he and the team will be more likely to make noise in the AFC East then. You usually don’t want to strip down the talent around a young quarterback, and in turn, make life more difficult on them. There isn’t much of an offensive line or receiving corps in New England anyway, though, so life can’t get much harder on Maye.</p><p><b>Las Vegas Raiders</b></p><p>The biggest name on the trade block when we started writing this article just so happened to be Davante Adams, and now that he has been moved, it is confirmed that the Raiders will be trade deadline sellers. Adams time in Las Vegas was far from perfect, and Gardner Minshew was recently replaced by Aidan O’Connell at the quarterback position. More change is yet to come. Maxx Crosby is likely too valuable to be moved, but there are other players on this roster with trade value.</p><p><b>Cleveland Browns</b></p><p>The Browns offense has been terrible this season. Deshaun Watson’s struggles means that the team won’t compete for the playoffs, despite having a defense loaded with talent. Having all of that defensive talent also means that Cleveland has plenty of intriguing players that they can trade away at the trade deadline. Reining Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett is too talented to trade away, but the Browns should listen to offers for anyone else.</p><p><b>Jacksonville Jaguars</b></p><p>The Jaguars’ disappointing season continued in Week 6, and now they could be in for a roster overhaul. The team has transformed the roster in recent years with a number of big-name free-agent additions and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/every-number-one-overall-nfl-draft-pick-ranked">first overall selection</a> of Trevor Lawrence. It hasn’t worked out as expected, though.</p><p>Jacksonville might hit the reset button at the NFL trade deadline. They have the talent on their roster to get enough back to make fans optimistic about the future if they were to be trade-deadline sellers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Just hours after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jets-raiders-davante-adams-trade">Jets’ Davante Adams move</a>, the <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1846252032518176891" rel="noopener">Bills made a deal</a> with the Cleveland Browns to acquire veteran All-Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper via trade.</p><p>“BREAKING: Browns trading WR Amari Cooper to Bills, sources tell @NFLonFOX,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>This Bills-Browns Amari Cooper trade involves Buffalo sending a 2025 third and a 2026 seventh-round pick to Clevland for Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round selection. The now-former Brown restructured his contract before the season and is now on a minimum deal this year.</p><p>Money-wise, the Bills <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1846256288478445967" rel="noopener">got a much better deal</a> than the Jets got with Adams.</p><p>“The Browns converted $18.79 million of Amari Cooper’s $20M salary to a signing bonus back in March,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported after the trade. “Buffalo didn’t have the flexibility to pay Davante Adams $11.6 million for the rest of 2024 like the #Jets did. Now, they get Cooper for … $806,667.”</p><p>Cooper has been relatively quiet this season as the Browns offense has struggled mightily. The five-time Pro Bowler has 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns this season.</p><h2><b>The Bills address their biggest offensive need</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Cleveland-Browns-WR-Amari-Cooper.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bills have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL with Josh Allen, one of the top offensive lines, and running back James Cook was in the top 12 of yards from scrimmage before sitting out Week 6 with an injury. And on Monday, Cook’s backup, Ray Davis, posted 152 all-purpose yards against the Jets, which is the most for a rookie this season.</p><p>It is the wide receiver position that has hurt the Bills offense in 2024. After losing Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs in the offseason, Buffalo has not fully replaced them. Khalil Shakir has been good but already missed a game with an injury. The rest of the veterans — Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling — have been average as best.</p><p>Second-round pick Keon Coleman has been good at times but has also looked every bit the rookie at other times, making some big mistakes.</p><p>Bringing in Amari Cooper is a great deal for the Bills as it will upgrade the WR corps while also not costing a lot this season or in the future. It signals that the franchise is all-in for a Super Bowl run this season, and the star WR will be a key piece if that happens.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-bills-jets-stat-impact-penalties-mnf-game">Monday Night Football game that was dominated by penalties</a> and overshadowed by a brawl in between the third and fourth quarters, Dawkins felt that he held New York Jets edge rusher Micheal Clemons in check.</p><p>After the game, Dawkins told reporters that the scuffle between the Bills’ offensive line and the Jets’ defensive line <a href="https://x.com/JonScottTV/status/1846040161588490369" rel="noopener">was a “little weird”</a> and sparked by a New York trainer. Regardless, Dawkins felt that he threw Clemons off his game and did what head coach Sean McDermott wanted of him by being a “dog.”</p><p>“It was a little weird,” Dawkins said, via Jon Scott of WGRZ. “They talking, running their mouths. One of their trainers was walking by with water and I felt like he was trying to be funny, putting it in my face… I think I’m more in their heads than they are in mine.</p><p>“I went out there and did exactly what I planned on doing; getting [Micheal Clemons] out of his game.

Much love, my brother!” <br><br>The Bills safety has had a storybook within the past two years. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-damar-hamlin-remembers-scary-on-field-cardiac-arrest-1-year-later">Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest</a> during a Monday Night Football match against the Cincinnati Bengals. After nearly dying on the field, he was rushed to a local Cincinnati hospital where he began his recovery. Since that moment, Hamlin has pushed for heart safety and has a special type of gratitude for first responders.</p><p>Regardless, he found out some special news before the start of the 2024-25 season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sean-mcdermott-makes-big-damar-hamlin-decision-ahead-of-week-1">Hamlin was announced as the starting free safety</a> before their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. The fourth-year player secured his first career interception against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a dominant Week 3 win. He’s also been a disruptor in the secondary, having two pass deflections within three games.</p><h2><b>Damar Hamlin’s impact on the Bills extends beyond stats</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Damar-Hamlin-reveals-Aaron-Rodgers-message-after-Bills-win.jpg"><figcaption>© Lucas Boland-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bills safety has been one of the few consistent players since the 2021 season. The team has shifted dramatically, especially with former wide receiver Stefon Diggs going to the Houston Texans. Questions circulated what the Bills would look like. They also lost their two safeties, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. Luckily for Buffalo, Hamlin has filled those gaps quite well. His ability to tackle hard, track the ball down, and play help coverage has proven pivotal.</p><p>Beyond all of that, Hamlin’s story is impossible to ignore. As someone who nearly died on a football field and is playing some of the best football of his career, it’s a tear-jerker for sure. Both head coach Sean McDermott and Von Miller talked about the pop of the stadium and all of the <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-damar-hamlin-week-3-reactions" rel="noopener">team coming out on the field</a> to embrace Hamlin. </p><p>He and Taylor Rapp have led the safety unit for Buffalo and have been solid in their own right. They’ve helped the Bills be ranked <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2024.htm" rel="noopener">11th in the league for points allowed</a> per game (21.0). Despite the production, playing alongside someone who has been through a literal life-and-death experience is inspiring nonetheless. Luckily for Buffalo, they’ll take on a Tennessee Titans team in Week 7 with issues of their own on offense.</p><p>Hopefully, for the Bills, they’ll hope that Hamlin can inspire his teammates with his story, in addition to the consistent play so far this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After the game, Rodgers explained what happened <a href="https://x.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1846058016354771121" rel="noopener">on the interception</a>, and what wide receiver Mike Williams was supposed to do on the play.</p><p>“It’s two vertical [routes],” Rodgers said after the game. “Allen [Lazard] is down the seam and Mike’s down the red line.

And when I peek my eyes back there, [Williams] is running an in-breaker.</p><p>“He’s got to be on the red line.”</p><p>The red line is the red stripe that is on practice fields to help receivers with their routes.

Some games you win in the NFL, and some games you give away. This was a giveaway.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-aaron-rodgers-makes-south-park-reference-while-blasting-ridiculous-refs">Rodgers had a few words about the officiating</a>, as the Jets and the Bills combined for 22 penaltied and 204 yards.</p><p>“It seemed a little ridiculous. Some of [the calls] seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me. That’s not roughing the passer.” Rodgers said. “You might as well play Sarcastaball if we’re going to call those things.

A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-drop-perfect-sopranos-reference-celebrate-jets-takedown">victory over the Jets</a> means the Bills stay in first place in the AFC East while the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-aaron-rodgers-makes-south-park-reference-while-blasting-ridiculous-refs">Jets fall third behind</a> the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass ultimately connected on the game-winning 25-yard field with 3:46 left in the fourth quarter. However, his misses could’ve cost the Bills the win. Speaking to reporters after the game, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott <a href="https://x.com/agetzenberg/status/1846044025385627773" rel="noopener">didn’t mince words</a> about his confidence level in Bass.</p><p>“He knows he needs to make those kicks,” McDermott said. “That’s the bottom line. He knows he needs to make those kicks.”</p><p>Bass missed from 47 yards in the third quarter. His missed extra point in the second quarter <a href="https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1845997953527284201" rel="noopener">also went viral</a> because it looked awful before it was officially noted as blocked.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Buck: Bass.

If the Bills aren’t careful with who they have at kicker, they could see games like the Jets go in the other direction. So, at this point, McDermott starts to sound like a broken record while he waits for his kicker to become more accurate.</p><h2><b>What can the Bills do to fix their kicking woes?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tyler-Bass-kick-Bills-Jets.jpg"><figcaption>Lucas Boland-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>During the Bills’ final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, Bass missed his 51-yard attempt, resulting in a 31-26 loss. During the 2024 regular season, he missed three field goal attempts in the 40-49-yard range and two extra-point attempts. Overall, Bass is the third-worst kicker in the NFL in terms of field goal accuracy. Meanwhile, he’s the worst placekicker in terms of extra-point accuracy.</p><p>McDermott and the Bills have started mulling over reinforcements last month to challenge Bass. So far, they’ve invited Anders Carlson and Cade York for workouts. However, neither has been impressive enough to replace Bass, forcing McDermott to stick with the inaccurate kicker.</p><p>While McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane expressed confidence in Bass’s ability to turn things around this season, the clock is ticking. Buffalo cannot have Bass come up short like he did last season against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. During the Bills’ 27-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round in January, Bass missed the game-tying 44-yard field goal with 1:43 left in regulation. The ball swung wide right. Those small mistakes can crater a season, something Buffalo cannot continue to gamble on.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The defensive coordinator turned interim coach wants fans to know his team is still in contention for the postseason.</p><p>“We are by no means <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41803631/aaron-rodgers-jets-rue-penalties-missed-opportunities-giveaway-loss-bills" rel="noopener">out of this thing</a>. By no means,” Ulbrich said, per ESPN. “I know the character of that locker room. I know the way we will respond. … We have to start stacking these weeks of exceptional preparation. I promise you it will start to pay off on Sundays.”</p><p>New York lost a tough game to the Bills Monday, 23-20. The Jets had opportunities to win the game, but couldn’t come up with enough plays on offense or defense to defeat Buffalo.</p><p>Ulbrich will have to get the wins going if he wants to keep his job. The franchise owner Woody Johnson fired Robert Saleh mid-season, after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-bill-belichick-questions-timing-robert-salehs-firing">a rough start</a> to the 2024 campaign.

The franchise fired Robert Saleh <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-stephen-a-smith-aaron-rodgers-role-robert-saleh-firing">after the team lost</a> to the Minnesota Vikings in Europe. Ulbrich was promoted to head coach, and the hope is that a new voice in the locker room will bring better results.</p><p>“We need to get going,” Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “This was a golden opportunity. Some games you win in the NFL, and some games you give away. This was a giveaway.”</p><p>New York <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-aaron-rodgers-makes-south-park-reference-while-blasting-ridiculous-refs">shot themselves in the foot</a> by committing 11 penalties in the contest, for more than 100 yards. This is an epidemic on the team this season in games; New York is one of the most penalized teams in the NFL.</p><p>“It seemed a little ridiculous,” Rodgers said of the officiating. “Some of [the calls] seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me [by AJ Espenesa]. That’s not roughing the passer. You might as well play Sarcastaball [a reference to the TV show ‘South Park’] if we’re going to call those things. And I thought the one on [Javon] Kinlaw wasn’t roughing the passer, either.”</p><p>Ulbrich is not the only staff member who is in danger of getting fired. Jets general manager Joe Douglas is in the last year of his contract, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-gm-joe-douglas-unique-contract-position-2024-season">no contract extension guaranteed</a>. It could be a cleaning of the house if the Jets don’t make the postseason. New York hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2010.</p><p>The Jets next play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets (2-4) dropped to the bottom of the AFC Wild Card race. Aaron Rodgers was not shy about airing out a few grievances after the game. The future Hall of Fame placed some <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41803631/aaron-rodgers-jets-rue-penalties-missed-opportunities-giveaway-loss-bills" rel="noopener">blame on spotty officiating</a>.</p><p>“It seemed a little ridiculous,” Rodgers said of the officiating. “Some of (the calls) seemed really bad, including the roughing-the-passer on me [by AJ Epenesa]. That’s not roughing the passer. You might as well play Sarcastaball [a reference to the TV show ‘South Park’] if we’re going to call those things. And I thought the one on [Javon] Kinlaw wasn’t roughing the passer, either.”</p><p>Rodgers (23-for-35) threw for a season-high 294 yards and two touchdowns but the Jets committed 11 penalties for 110 yards. New York could not keep momentum going in the right direction and it showed up on the scoreboard, sort of.</p><p>“I thought we were going to have a big night on offense,” Rodgers admitted. “Again, this should have been a 30-plus point game on offense, and this shouldn’t even be a conversation.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Prepare for a pass interference call. Exchange a few words with a ref?

Despite moving the Jets into the red zone four times, they only managed to score one touchdown from those opportunities.</p><p>Greg Zuerlein missed two field goals in the second half that could have given the Jets the lead: one from 32 yards and another from 43 yards.</p><p>Despite being without their star running back, the Buffalo Bills rushed for 150 yards for the second week in a row. A special acknowledgment goes to fourth-round rookie running back Ray Davis, who recorded 20 carries for 97 yards, marking the heaviest workload for a Buffalo rookie running back since Devin Singletary in 2019.<br>The Buffalo Bills, now 4-2, sit atop the AFC East, while the New York Jets fell to 2-4, landing in third place behind the Miami Dolphins, who had a Week 6 bye. The game also marked Jeff Ulbrich’s first as head coach following Robert Saleh’s dismissal on October 8.</p><p>Poor officiating was central to Monday night’s matchup between the Bills and the Jets, with the game’s outcome significantly influenced by the officials’ interpretations of relatively minor plays. It remains to be seen how the NFL will react to this situation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
