Tonight at 8:25 p.m. ET on NFL Network, the Jets (5-3) will aim to solidify themselves in second place in the AFC with a win over the Bills (4-4) and their brash head coach Rex Ryan.

Ryan was once the coach of the Jets, and in his first two seasons, in which the Jets reached back-to-back AFC Championships, his bluster was adored. As his roster deteriorated, however, Ryan's schtick became tired to Jets fans, and he was unceremoniously booted this offseason.
Now, Ryan's hoping to stick it to his old team in their house, and he's starting by trolling backup quarterback Geno Smith. Ryan has named IK Enemkpali, who famously broke Smith's jaw in the preseason, a captain for the game.
The new Jets aren't biting for the most part.
"Love it," Jets receiver Brandon Marshall said. "That's a Rex Ryan move. I mean, are you guys surprised?"
The Jets should be more concerned with Ryan's rapidly healing roster than whomever he sends out for the coin toss. Running back LeSean McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins are both active for this game, and quarterback Tyrod Taylor returned last week.
"We have a lot of talent, and unfortunately, we had so many injuries that we haven't necessarily seen them," Ryan said. "So let us be healthy and then judge us for who we are."
