Hotels for New York Jets v. Buffalo Bills

An AFC East rivalry with decades of history behind it, this fixture always carries weight in the divisional standings. Both fan bases travel well, and the crowd noise on third downs tends to reflect just how much bad blood there is between these two teams. Early November has a way of separating pretenders from playoff contenders, and a late-season meeting like this often carries extra weight for seeding. Expect a physical, weather-affected game, since cold and wind are common at this point in the season.

Home to both the Giants and the Jets, MetLife Stadium anchors the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, hosting NFL football and the very biggest stadium concerts. The setting is a purpose-built sports and entertainment zone rather than a walkable district, with Manhattan across the river.

Matchday trains run from New York's Penn Station directly to the Meadowlands. Booking a room in Manhattan or nearby New Jersey lets you ride the train in and avoid the notorious car-park exodus after a sell-out.
