The Jets will finish their 2019 season against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.

But will Gang Green see the Josh Allen & Co. Bills? Or the Matt Barkley & Co. Bills? 

Their AFC East rivals are locked into the fifth-seed in the playoff picture. But for now, their not revealing which if the Jets will face their starters or backups. 

 

"There's certainly a lot of things to consider," Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday. "I mean there's a certainly a lot of things to consider.

"Some of it is the injuries, some of it is us improving as a football team. So, we're still working through that and then the team's not in today so we'll be back tomorrow. So, we'll continue to work through that as a team and go from there."

The Jets haven't seen the Bills since opening weekend. In that game, the Bills scored late to take a 17-16 win. Their seasons have gone in a similar fashion to the way that game went. 

At 10-5, the Bills have a luxury of picking and choosing who playing against the Jets on Sunday at New Era Field. The Jets are out of the playoffs and playing for pride, while currently looking toward the 2020 NFL draft at 6-9 overall.

The Jets currently hold the No. 10 overall pick, by the way.
