The Buffalo Bills, led by standout QB Josh Allen, are aiming to continue their perfect start to the season with a third consecutive win as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars. Meanwhile, the Jaguars, having lost their first two games, face a challenging road game against one of the league's top teams.
The Bills are on a mission to capture their first-ever Super Bowl title after falling short in four previous attempts. With a "championship or bust" mindset, Buffalo has set high expectations for this season. After a narrow win in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals (34-28), Buffalo crushed the Miami Dolphins in Week 2, 31-10. Josh Allen has looked sharp, leading to early MVP chatter. Additionally, running back James Cook has been a standout, contributing 78 rushing yards on 11 carries and scoring two touchdowns against Miami.
Buffalo has a strong chance to extend their winning streak to three games. The team's offense, featuring Allen, Cook, and receivers like Stefon Diggs, is potent and far more dynamic than Jacksonville's, at least on paper. However, the Bills must avoid complacency and not underestimate the Jaguars, who have posed a challenge in recent matchups.
Jacksonville’s 0-2 start to the season has been disappointing. They narrowly lost to the Dolphins in Week 1 (17-20) and followed that up with another close defeat to the Cleveland Browns (13-18). The Jaguars' offense has been sluggish, but their defense remains solid, giving them something to build on. QB Trevor Lawrence has struggled under pressure, completing just 26 of 51 passes for 382 yards in two games. He’s been sacked seven times, and Jacksonville’s offensive line must improve to protect their quarterback.
Despite their struggles, Jacksonville is not a team to overlook. Running back Travis Etienne is a dangerous playmaker, and if the Jaguars can fix their offensive issues, they have the ability to upset Buffalo. Historically, Jacksonville has won three of their last five meetings with the Bills, a stat that adds intrigue to this matchup.
