1. Veteran quarterback Josh McCown, who has been having his best statistical season of his career, broke his left hand during the week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. The Jets (5-8) will look to backup quarterback Bryce Petty to replace McCown vs. the New Orleans Saints (9-4) on Sunday. Petty is in his third year with the Jets and had five possessions vs. the Broncos; he completed two of nine passes and the Jets punted four times. McCown’s brother, Luke, played for the Saints from 2013-16.
2. Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse have been a dominant tandem for the Jets at receiver.
