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 to the United States and promptly announced the firing of head coach Robert Saleh. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will take over as head coach for at least the remainder of the season. He then immediately relieved Nathaniel Hackett of his game-calling duties and assigned passing game coordinator Todd Downing to that job, something Saleh had reportedly planned to do before his firing.

Now, in his first game as head coach, Ulbruch will try to right the balance against the division rival Buffalo Bills.
