It\u2019s time for a New York Jets\u00a0debut.<\/p>\n

Wide receiver\u00a0Adonai Mitchell\u00a0is set to don the green and white colors for the first time this season. He was involved in the blockbuster trade that sent All-Pro cornerback\u00a0Sauce Gardner\u00a0to the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Mitchell was inactive for the Week 10 contest against the\u00a0Cleveland Browns. Head coach Aaron Glenn explained that he needed some more time to familiarize himself with the playbook. Now, Mitchell will get to show what he has learned against the\u00a0New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football in front of the entire country.<\/p>\n

Mitchell has two and a half years remaining on his\u00a0$7.3 million\u00a0rookie contract.<\/p>\n

The Jets insisted on Mitchell being in the trade. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, if the Colts hadn\u2019t included the talented pass catcher in the deal, a trade would have never been completed. Now it\u2019s time to see what the buzz was all about from the Jets\u2019 side.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Garrett Wilson\u00a0being placed\u00a0on injured reserve, Mitchell is going to be expected to take on a heavy workload.<\/p>\n

Mitchell, 23, was buried on the depth chart with the Colts. That won\u2019t be a problem with the Jets. They don\u2019t have that first-world problem in New York. The green and white are looking for someone to step up to the plate.<\/p>\n

This will be Mitchell\u2019s 26th\u00a0NFL\u00a0game of his career. He\u00a0has been\u00a0targeted 71 times, has caught 32 receptions for 464 receiving yards, and has averaged 14.5 yards per reception.<\/p>\n

Mitchell has all the tools. He stands in at 6-foot-2 and weighs 205 pounds. At the NFL combine he\u00a0ran a blazing 4.34 40-yard dash.<\/p>\n

Colts wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne believes the thing Mitchell is missing is reps. If that is true, then the Jets should find out pretty quickly what they have in the former Texas product. If the green and white hope to upset the Pats, they will need some\u00a0magic\u00a0from their young wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Gang Green took to social media\u00a0to announce\u00a0the inactives for the Patriots game in prime time.<\/p>\n

That group included rookie cornerback\u00a0Azareye\u2019h Thomas, defensive lineman\u00a0Braiden McGregor, running back\u00a0Khalil Herbert, tight end\u00a0Jelani Woods, and linebacker core special teamer\u00a0Ja\u2019Markis Weston.<\/p>\n

Two key defensive cogs for the Jets were listed as questionable heading into Week 11.<\/p>\n

Defensive tackle\u00a0Harrison Phillips\u00a0and pass rusher\u00a0Will McDonald\u00a0were both up in the air for this contest. With both players listed as active, they will be\u00a0good to go for this AFC East rivalry.<\/p>\n

Phillips is dealing with a foot issue. He didn\u2019t practice on Monday or Tuesday, but he was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

McDonald is dealing with a quad problem. He didn\u2019t practice on Monday, but he was a limited participant in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday. The former Iowa State product is coming off an impressive four-sack campaign. That is tied for the best single-game sack record in Jets franchise history.<\/p>\n

“We may have lost tonight, but we\u2019re fighting for each other, and we\u2019ll keep pushing until we get it right. This team is built to battle, and we\u2019re not backing down.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong> \u2014 Tage Thompson, Buffalo Sabres Forward<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Sabres may have suffered their fourth consecutive loss in regulation, but don\u2019t let the final score fool you\u2014this team is far from defeated. Despite falling 6-3 to the Colorado Avalanche, the Sabres showed they have the heart to compete with the best, and their resilience is something no one should underestimate.<\/p>\n

It all started with a nightmare first period: just 52 seconds into the game, Martin Necas put the Avalanche on the board with a breakaway goal, followed by Artturi Lehkonen\u2019s goal five minutes later. The Sabres were reeling, and head coach Lindy Ruff knew he had to act fast. He pulled starting goalie Alex Lyon, bringing in Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in hopes of shifting momentum. The move worked.<\/p>\n

“Taking the goalie out was to buy me some time and talk to the team for a second, to get organized and say, \u2018We\u2019re going to get back in this game,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> Ruff said. \u201cAnd I thought we did. Had nothing to do with Lyon.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The change sparked the Sabres. Within minutes, Bowen Byram got them on the board, and then Jordan Greenway, with his first goal of the season, tied it up after a beautiful chip-in from Owen Power. The Sabres\u2019 response was strong, with some of their best offensive play of the season.<\/p>\n

But despite their efforts, the Avalanche\u2019s relentless attack was too much to overcome. Buffalo tied the game late in the second period on a power play goal from Tage Thompson, marking a significant moment for the team after struggling with the man advantage.<\/p>\n

“We changed things around, we moved the puck quicker, we were a lot more direct,”<\/strong> Ruff said about the revamped power play. \u201cThat\u2019s a lot of pressure on two young kids to play on the power play, but I thought they did a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, just over a minute later, the Avalanche took the lead once again with a deflection goal by Gavin Brindley, and the Sabres couldn\u2019t recover. Necas added another goal for Colorado, followed by an empty-netter from Gabriel Landeskog to seal the victory for the league-leading Avalanche.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, there\u2019s no denying the fight this team showed, especially from Thompson, who was moved to the first-line center position. With 11 faceoff wins and a two-point effort, Thompson\u2019s performance sparked the Sabres\u2019 offensive push.<\/p>\n

“I felt like myself; felt way better in the middle,”<\/strong> Thompson said after the game. “I thought I was moving my feet really well. For me, I like being in the middle. You can carry the puck and kind of dictate the pace of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe may have lost tonight, but we\u2019re fighting for each other, and we\u2019ll keep pushing until we get it right. This team is built to battle, and we\u2019re not backing down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong> Thompson\u2019s words carry weight, and fans should take notice. The Sabres may have fallen short on the scoreboard, but their fight, grit, and determination are exactly what will carry them forward.<\/p>\n

Next up, the Sabres are heading to Detroit, where they\u2019ll look to turn their fortunes around against the Red Wings. It\u2019s not just about wins\u2014it\u2019s about proving to the league that the Sabres are a team to be reckoned with. And if they keep fighting like this, they\u2019re bound to break through.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been fighting it a little bit the past couple of games, so, yeah, two points would\u2019ve been huge for us,\u201d<\/strong> said Greenway after the game. \u201cCouldn\u2019t find a way to do it, so we\u2019ve got to move on to Detroit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a team that\u2019s hungry for success, and they\u2019re not backing down.<\/strong> Keep an eye on the Buffalo Sabres\u2014they\u2019ve got plenty of fight left in them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
