NFL Week 7: Trends which will decide each game
Buffalo Bills (4-2) at New York Jets (0-6), 1:00 pm
Bills: Winners of their first four games, including a 27-17 triumph over the Jets on the opening Sunday, the Bills dropped two contests in a span of seven days to the Titans and Chiefs, respectively. Sean McDermott’s defense is ranked 23rd overall, one year after finishing third in the league in fewest total yards per game surrendered.
Jets: The winless Green and White is the only team in the league not to score at least 100 points this season and Adam Gase’s club has played in six games. The Jets have as many turnovers (6) as offensive touchdowns while the team has allowed 18 sacks. The club has been outscored 185-75 this season, including 114-29 in the first half.
Dallas Cowboys (2-4) at Washington Football Team (1-5), 1:00 pm
Cowboys: Monday night’s home loss to the Cardinals snapped a four-game streak in which the Cowboys put at least 31 points on the board. Unfortunately, Mike McCarthy’s club has surrendered 34 or more points in each of their last five contests. Dallas defenders have already given up 24 offensive touchdowns in a half-dozen outings.
Washington: After a Week 1 win, Ron Rivera’s club has dropped five games in a row and the offense has been anemic. The team is tied for last in the league in total offense and is dead last in rushing yards per game (82.2). And quarterbacks Dwayne Haskins (13), Kyle Allen (5) and Alex Smith have been sacked a combined 25 times.
