The Bills and [[New York Jets|Jets]] were both original AFL teams, and both represent the state of [[New York (state)|New York]], though the Jets have played their home games in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey]] since 1984. While the rivalry represents the differences between [[New York City]] and [[Western New York]], it has historically not been as intense as Buffalo's rivalries with the Dolphins and Patriots. When not playing one another, the teams' fan bases either have grudging respect or low-key annoyance for each other (stemming more from the broader [[upstate New York|upstate-downstate tensions]] than the teams or sport). The Bills-Jets rivalry has often become characterized by ugly games and shared mediocrity, but it has had a handful of competitive moments. The series heated up recently when former Jets head coach [[Rex Ryan]] became the Bills' head coach for two seasons and had become notable again as Bills quarterback [[Josh Allen]] and former Jets quarterback [[Sam Darnold]], both drafted in the same year, maintained a friendly rivalry with one another.<ref name="g086">{{cite web |last=Dubin |first=Jared |title=Rex Ryan says Jets are 'just another opponent' ahead of TNF showdown |website=CBSSports.com |date=November 9, 2015 |url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rex-ryan-says-jets-are-just-another-opponent-ahead-of-tnf-showdown/ |access-date=August 5, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Louis-Jacques |first=Marcel |date=September 7, 2019 |title=Bills' Josh Allen, Jets' Sam Darnold: Friendship before rivalry |url=https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/33411/bills-josh-allen-and-jets-sam-darnold-close-friends-division-rivals |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217020456/https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/33411/bills-josh-allen-and-jets-sam-darnold-close-friends-division-rivals |archive-date=February 17, 2020 |access-date=January 4, 2020 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> Buffalo leads the series 71–58 as of 2024, including a playoff win in 1981.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/buffalo-bills/teamvsteam?opp=22%7CBuffalo |title=Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Results - The Football Database |website=FootballDB |access-date=September 13, 2017 |archive-date=February 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224191819/https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/buffalo-bills/teamvsteam?opp=22%7CBuffalo |url-status=live}}</ref>
