The New York Jets’ secondary was ripped apart in their 34-32 season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers, in his Pittsburgh debut, threw for four touchdowns against his former team.

It’s not about to get any easier for Gang Green.

Now at 0-1, the secondary that struggled mightily against a former league MVP will have to go up against the reigning MVP when they host Buffalo Bills signal-caller Josh Allen.

Allen is coming off a miraculous comeback against the Baltimore Ravens last week. On Sunday, he has a chance to bury his archrivals on the road.

As the Jets’ defense prepares throughout the week, they know that stopping an elite quarterback is easier said than done.

Jets speak out on changing QB dynamic

From where Rodgers is now to what Allen has become, the Jets are about to take on a completely different quarterback than the one they saw the week prior. Allen is one of the most athletic signal-callers in the game, compared to Rodgers being a pocket passer at this point in his career.

That’s why many of the team’s starters on the defensive side of the ball are preparing for a little bit extra as part of their gameplan.

“They’re two different types of quarterbacks,” Jets cornerback Brandon Stephens said. “There’s more things that you have to account for. We just have to dig in and play our style of football…just make plays when they need to get made.”

Buffalo’s offense recorded close to 500 yards of offense in their win over Baltimore. Allen, himself, accounted for 424 yards along the way in the comeback win. That’s something the Jets cannot ignore.

And it’s something much different than what they saw last week against Rodgers.

“Both are good quarterbacks,” Jamien Sherwood told X-Factor on Thursday. “But it’s just the same thing. At the end of the day, all it comes down to when going against any quarterback is to not let them beat you. As long as we do what we need to, nobody can beat us.”

New York was able to sack Rodgers four times in its loss. Allen was sacked just once in Buffalo’s win. That’s a distinction that could affect how the Jets attack the quarterback from the pocket.

They won’t be able to fly upfield against Allen like they did against Pittsburgh. If they do not contain Allen outside the pocket, he will make them pay.

While the scheme and principles of stopping Buffalo’s offense will be different from their Week 1 opponent, the Jets know full well that Allen is even more of a threat to them than Rodgers was last week.

It’s quite the challenge for the 0-1 Jets.
