You know, when the schedule was released we were expecting this game to have much more significance. The Patriots are at the top of the league, but the Jets have had a terrible season.
You know, the Patriots are looking to clinch the top seed in the AFC. A year ago, they were in a similar situation, but they lost to the Jets Week 16. Then they lost to the Dolphins Week 17 and finished with the second seed. Not only are they playing the Jets this week, they get the Dolphins next week.
You know, the Patriots made an effort to sign Matt Forte, but the Jets got him in free agency instead.
You know, this game is a homecoming for Darrelle Revis. He played with the Patriots in 2014 and took some members of this secondary under his wing.
You know, the Patriots lost Rob Gronkowski for the season in the first meeting between these teams.
