New York Jets versus the New England Patriots, national television, for sole possession of first place…. does it get any better than this?
Gang Green is heading into this marquee matchup winning five of their last six games while the Patriots have won four of their last six. In terms of the overall series New England has won 11 of the last 12 games versus the Jets.
What do all of these numbers mean?
Nothing.
This is the biggest regular season statement game Gang Green has played in since 1998 when the Jets beat the Dolphins in Miami to prove to the world they were contenders. The time has come for Gang Green to show the New England Patriots and the rest of the NFL that this is not the ‘Same Old Jets’ and that this is a team ready to make a strong run into the playoffs. The time has come to prove that this is not a team that will be mocked by the local media and talking heads, but one that is ready to flex its muscles and will have their play do the talking.
