There's an arms race in the AFC East.

Of the 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL, two of the best rest comfortably in the AFC East entering 2023, with Josh Allen attempting to lead the Bills to another division crown. This year, they'll have a little bit more competition from the Jets, who added a guy named Aaron Rodgers this offseason.

LIVE: Follow Bills vs. Jets updates from 'Monday Night Football'

Allen and the Bills are looking to erase a forgettable end to their 2022 season, when they were handed an ugly, sloppy loss at the hands of the Bengals in the divisional round. The Jets are looking to erase something of their own: The longest playoff drought in North American sports.

They'll have a new-look offense to help them get there. Not only has Rodgers joined the fray, but he's flanked by former Packers running mates Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, and he'll also have help from former Vikings back Dalvin Cook.

That all makes for must-watch TV, and it all gets away on "Monday Night Football" in Week 1. Here's when you can catch the game.
