In the first Thursday Night Football game of the season, the Jets will take on Buffalo in the Bills home opener for 2016.

We know one thing that Rex Ryan loves besides a good snack, and that’s beating his former team: the New York Jets. Ryan did so twice last year — once on a Thursday night, 22-17 in November and the other in Week 17 at Ralph Wilson Stadium (22-17 as well, ironically enough). In fact, Buffalo’s win in Week 17 kept the Jets from reaching the postseason.

After a Week 1 loss to the Ravens, the Bills will try and rebound and get themselves a much-needed win to avoid starting out 0-2. Ryan appears to be on the hot seat this season, particularly if the Bills fail to make the playoffs. After last week’s loss against Baltimore, a lot will need to change if they have any hope of making the postseason.

The Jets, although also 0-1, are in a better boat than the Bills — at least for now. They just fell short to the Bengals Sunday at home and if not for a missed extra point and field goal, they come out on top. They’ll need to take care of business against the Bills Thursday to get back to .500 and stay on track with New England and the rest of the AFC.
