For the second year in a row, the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets will meet in Week 16, playing around the Christmas holiday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Last year’s game was a Sunday matchup on December 26th, while this year the two teams play on Thursday Night Football, a few days ahead of Christmas.
Both teams are squarely in the playoff hunt, however, a far cry from last year’s matchup. That game saw the Jaguars enter with a 2-12 record with the Jets coming in at 3-11. This year, Jacksonville is 6-8 and just one game back from the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South, while the Jets are 7-7 and a game out of the AFC Wild Card hunt.
