The Patriots and Jets resume their rivalry with a big game on Sunday. The two teams met just two games (and three weeks) ago, so the tape for both teams will still be fresh. And both teams are coming off their respective bye weeks, so they’ve had plenty of time to prepare.
With the 7-3, first-place Dolphins on a bye week and the Bills’ game against Cleveland moving to Detroit due to a large snowstorm, it is a big week for the AFC East standings. Although it is only the beginning of the second half of the season, all four AFC East teams have winning records, and if the season ended today (I generally hate this term, but use it myself), all four teams would be in the playoffs for the first time since 1998.
