– Darrelle Revis

Due to more struggles in Week 2, all eyes will once again be on Darrelle Revis in Week 3. While being burnt by A.J. Green in Week 1 is an understandable, what happened in Week 2 was not. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins was clearly nowhere near 100%, but that didn’t stop the Bills from targeting Revis.

Early on in the game, Marquise Goodwin torched Revis for a deep touchdown pass. The days of Revis Island might be coming to end if they haven’t already. However, the Jets will have to hope that he will be able to improve as the season goes on.

In Week 3, the Chiefs will likely be challenging Revis early and often. If Revis lines up against Jeremy Maclin, the Chiefs will have to try to continue to test Revis. Until he shows a sign that he isn’t washed up, teams are going to be going at him.

The Jets would be wise to avoid leaving Revis on single coverage against wide receivers until he regains some confidence. Anytime a receiver makes a catch, announcers will be quick to mention if it is against Revis. Luckily, the Chiefs don’t have a dynamic passing attack that can really hurt the Jets.
