Bills vs. Jets
Percy Harvin is set to make his debut in Jets green, and we’re anxious to see what the dynamic wide receiver can do to spark this lethargic offense. Harvin has the ability to get carries out of the backfield, haul in passes, and run trick plays, not to mention his contributions as a kick and punt returner. Now the pressure is on Geno Smith, who now has a true No. 1 receiver in Eric Decker, Harvin, and a workhorse in Chris Ivory. This week the Jets face a Bills team coming off a last-second triumph over Minnesota in which Kyle Orton found Sammy Watkins for a game-winning score. The Bills have been playing exceptional since moving Orton under center, and they get a Jets team that’s dropped six games in a row.
Bold prediction: Jets coaches are saying Harvin will have “a minor” role in Sunday’s game, and that makes sense given that Harvin has been with the team for just over a week. But his contributions on special teams cannot be overlooked. The Jets return units have suffered this season and have yet to score a touchdown in that area. Expect that to change as Harvin looks to get his Jets tenure rolling.
