Unlike the backyards across the world on Easter Sunday, the modern NFL, one that worships offense, is a rare place to find Easter eggs. They’re most common on the scoreboard, but today’s eggs are more commonly preceded by a numeral in front of them, as scoring is at an all-time high. Last season, for example, saw only three shutouts across the league.
The New York Jets, however, have earned their share of eggs on defense throughout their history, enough to fill a basket of their own. In celebration of egg rolls across the world, Jet X looks back at the dozen shutouts in the Jets’ favor.
