(CBS New York/CBS Local) — The New York Jets open up their season at home against the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills. It will be a matchup of second-year quarterbacks — Sam Darnold for the Jets and Josh Allen for the Bills. Selected early in last year’s draft, both players have had a year to mature. Each showed promise in the rookie season, and each faces higher expectations this season, as their teams add pieces to create winners.
“This matchup and this year, I think we’re going to see great things,” according to Larry Hartstein, senior analyst at SportsLine.
