It's a showdown in the Big Apple as the defensive powerhouse Buffalo Bills vs. Aaron Rodgers and the revamped New York Jets to kick off "Monday Night Football."

The Buffalo Bills will want to recreate their 2022 season which saw them lead the AFC East with a 13-3 record. The Bills have built the most formidable defence across the NFL and although their divisional round exit was another disappointment, they should contend for the Super Bowl once again in 2023-24.

This year, Josh Allen and the Bills will be desperate to make the Super Bowl, a game that has eluded the franchise since 1994.

Jets fans have been no strangers to misery over the past decade and are hoping their new acquisitions can turn things around. The Jets have put all their chips on the table in order to do that, trading a vast array of future assets for star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. With an influx of Rodgers’ Green Bay buddies and a fantastic young core in Rookie of the Year winners, Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson. The Jets might finally be prepared to make a push for their first postseason action since 2010.

It's an absolute AFC East blockbuster to kick off "MNF" for 2023.
