How to watch Bills-Jets for free during Monday Night Football: Time, streaming

It’s been an eventful eight days since the New York Jets last played.

After a crushing 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London, the team returned stateside and promptly announced the firing of head coach Robert Saleh. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will step into the head coach position for at least the rest of the season. He then promptly relieved Nathaniel Hackett of his play-calling duties and tasked passing game coordinator Todd Downing with the job, something Saleh was reportedly planning to do before his firing.

Now, in his first game as head coach Ulbruch will try to right the ship against their divisional rivals, the Buffalo Bills.
