The Jets have faced challenging early-season schedules for the past three years, but this season, it’s all about the timing of the games. Although there are some tough opponents on the schedule, there are also winnable games before their Week 12 bye. Teams like the Titans, Patriots, Broncos, Vikings and Cardinals could be within reach for the Jets to win if Aaron Rodgers remains healthy. The Jets have potential to have a winning record in the first half of the season with 6-5 or 7-4 not being out of the realm of possibility.
As the season progresses, the Jets will face tougher opponents in their final stretch of games. The last six games include matchups against playoff teams from previous years and other strong contenders. Despite not having any late-afternoon games on CBS in later part of the season, there is a chance that some of these games could be flexed to prime time slots. Although they may not be thrilled with their schedule, the Jets understand that every team faces challenges in their scheduling and they just have to focus on playing the games.
The Jets believe that they are competitive enough to earn prime time slots from league despite facing challenges in their schedule. They are focused on making most opportunities presented to them and competing at their best abilities.
