Can Bills avoid emotional letdown vs. Jets?

The Buffalo Bills are coming off a stirring Week 1 win over their AFC rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, in what was a superb come-from-behind win.

All of the emotion and the fact that Buffalo was playing another Super Bowl contender made it quite the spectacle.

But now comes the hard part...backing it up against the New York Jets.

Seen as an inferior team to the Bills, Aaron Glenn's Jets won't be pushovers, but how do the Bills avoid getting caught up in an emotional letdown after the events of Week 1?

Quarterback Josh Allen knows precisely how to avoid it.

“I think it's being around the guys," Allen said. “Having a good week of practice, again we played a lot of plays on the offensive side of the ball. So, making sure that we're getting our rehab work done, hitting the tubs, and getting adequate sleep and recovery, so our focus is the next one.”

Bills looking to get ahead in division race vs. Jets

For most, before the season began, the Bills were going to win the AFC East similarly to last season, but Sean McDermott's team still has to go out and get it done.

One thing we know about Aaron Glenn's Jets team is that they won't be pushed around, and when the bullies of the AFC East come to MetLife Stadium in Week 2, they will need to put their best foot forward.

With Buffalo the only AFC East team to win in Week 1, Sean McDermott's Bills have a chance to get out to an early lead with the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins facing off against each other.

But after the events of Sunday night, the Bills have to be wary of an emotional letdown at MetLife Stadium, because while beating the Ravens was great, it will be for nothing if Buffalo slips up against New York.
