It had been just over eight months since the New York Jets made the Sunday drive down Route 3 to MetLife Stadium. It’ll be even longer before fans accompany them with the stadium’s seats left empty due to COVID-19 regulations.
The Jets certainly looked different when they took to the turf at East Rutherford on Sunday, with several starters missing from their last descent against Pittsburgh on December 22. A training camp scrimmage was the Jets’ first on-field action in what will certainly be the most unusual season in recent memory. The official home slate gets underway on September 20, when the Jets take on the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
