How do the Bills beat the Jaguars on Monday night? Here are our 4 keys to victory
‘Eliminate Etienne. Or at least slow him down. In the last meeting between these teams, Jacksonville running back Travis Etienne had a whopping 136 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries as he shredded the Bills defense in London. It’s only Week 3, but Etienne is not at that level right now. He averaged 48 rushing yards per game in the first two contests. There’s context to that – the Jaguars are off to a rough start, and teammate Tank Bigsby has been more involved. But an already depleted Bills defense will need to keep Etienne from gashing them again. Otherwise, the Jaguars offense could come back alive.’
Bills-Jaguars numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's game vs. Jacksonville
‘Trevor Lawrence has lost seven straight starts dating to last season. It’s unthinkable for a player of his talent. Josh Allen never has lost more than two straight in his seven-plus seasons as starter.’
Bills-Jaguars: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Monday night game
‘The Jaguars’ season is on the brink, and they visit Houston next week. You’d think the Bills will be facing a desperate team ready to play its best game. On paper, this Jaguars offense should be way better than it has showed. Based on yo-yo-like NFL results (Raiders over Ravens, Vikings over Niners, Falcons over Eagles), the Jaguars are overdue. But the rested Bills should make amends for the egg-laying in London. Bills, 27-24.’
'He definitely knows what a beef on weck is': Jaguars TE Luke Farrell is not from Buffalo but he should feel right at home Monday
‘The fourth year NFL pro who grew up in Ohio has close ties to Western New York, where most of his extended family resides. His father, Matt Farrell, grew up in Derby and although he moved to Ohio 30 years ago after attending college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, he still travels back here often with his family.’
Hamburg gets start on efforts to rezone, revitalize Bills stadium area

Five Takes: Can Bills red-hot 'D' keep Jaguars 'O' at bay? Will BUF exorcise demons? Prediction, keys to the game included
‘While undermanned, the Bills defense hasn’t missed a beat and much of the credit for the unit’s ability to adjust is due to McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich’s coaching acumen and ability to develop talent within the team’s defensive system. With that said, Buffalo will once again be put to the test as former Bills Mitch Morse and Gabe Davis, along with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, lead a Jaguars offense into Orchard Park chomping at the bit for a breakout performance.’

‘Lawrence has been in a rut lately, losing seven straight regular-season starts dating back to Week 13 of the 2023 season, the longest active streak in the NFL. On the other hand, Buffalo is quite the opposite, as quarterback Josh Allen has earned victories in seven consecutive regular-season starts dating back to Week 14 of the 2023 season.’
Four Downs: Ground game crucial on both sides as Bills look for better luck against Jaguars
‘The Bills mustered 29 yards on the ground last season, but they have a new coordinator and seemingly a new approach. In the first two games, the Bills have called 54 runs and 49 passes, with Allen actually throwing 42 times, the fewest among quarterbacks to start two games.’
