Many consider the Buffalo Bills AFC Super Bowl candidates. The New York Jets, their AFC East opponents, are a new contender.

The Jets made waves this offseason by acquiring Aaron Rodgers from the Packers, believing it would help them compete with the best.

[{"selector":"#anim-6df00e9e-c638-49fb-bb3a-e0ee3580e1f8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bea7dc4d-d923-4ce1-a89d-57d66e4c1870","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-793e9264-9795-4117-998f-595c67ceb8c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That will be tested in Week 1 when the Bills travel to face their rivals on Monday Night Football.

[{"selector":"#anim-7fd1c2aa-0caa-46ad-9db3-9c6edc977396","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b4798ab1-32bc-4b18-9a3d-88627bdc73d8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a032451e-3361-45c2-88d5-de08a4ca2e80","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Buffalo may lose a key defensive player. Safety Micah Hyde recently injured his back.

[{"selector":"#anim-5ac04ed0-8603-4bfe-a70e-10f8b2ce8142","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10f619f5-f651-45a4-9c1b-ba51a6267581","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b7da4ed-ceb2-49e3-8dfc-36a8d42b2f60","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Consequently, he will not practice on Wednesday. Bills head coach Sean McDermott says they'll take things day by day.

[{"selector":"#anim-61a5e4ac-73e5-4d19-897e-bc85ee3386f9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fdad4575-c4e3-4ae2-ab7c-967f71a4cb8b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-911bfd9a-68be-43e6-9c30-cdddd94df408","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That hurts Hyde, who was excited to play again. He was eager to play again after missing the final 15 games of 2022 due to a neck ailment.

[{"selector":"#anim-fdc33f66-5eef-48a6-9a43-7b1a898e2f3e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-676f02cf-41bd-416d-9188-7f32653fd434","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b830363f-d235-48a1-90e5-227b02aea5aa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Positively, Hyde was seen on the practice field during the day. Could the Bills be playing games to beat the Jets?

[{"selector":"#anim-f783fc35-5e4a-4103-98b0-8723acc08738","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1030c5a4-d741-4748-a928-ce8bb92f1170","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02f95b82-6bb4-45b2-8c70-3e6b1fbc007c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A simple miscommunication may have happened, but the league would have informed them if Hyde practiced.

[{"selector":"#anim-7381f569-484a-48b7-a6d5-77f223a9fce0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c61b604d-6436-4f3a-8d9d-4719f61cdfbf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff49cadc-3635-4910-9b8b-d8bcb2a123f3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If Hyde is hurt and out for Monday night, that's devastating.

[{"selector":"#anim-5e50f838-01c5-4950-bebf-5119622bbfc1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ae47043-51d3-4603-a749-6c8a97c6fe3a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd2b3e3d-4612-4afd-a45a-746a266a4b53","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Bills will need everyone to slow down a new Jets offense that wants to make noise early in the season.

[{"selector":"#anim-9f29f100-c8eb-4de4-b87b-6e134cb9d7e7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da388141-98db-4919-8852-eab982b3472b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-65fd1fb5-ec1f-4f65-a1ea-9389c8ede429","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
