New York Jets Flight Connections 7/2/20

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the NFL has announced that it will cut the Pre-Season this year from 4 games to 2 (weeks 1 and 4 respectively will be cut out). The NFL has flirted with this idea in the past so it’s not a surprise that they were so quick to initiate this now. It makes sense as well given the current unknown circumstances, and allows the NFL to take the proper precautions to prepare for a full season. It’s not yet known if the games against the Eagles or Giants will be scrapped, but it’s something to monitor going forward if you’re interested in those yearly matchups. Speaking of the NFL, there’s a solid chance that the league has fans sign waivers in order to attend events this year. Attendance has been a question since the pandemic, but this action would signify that the league does indeed intend on having a live audience present during the games. It’ll be interesting to see going forward. With that, here are your links to the team to start your morning off.
