According to one of professional football’s most renowned analytics experts, the dawn may soon be coming for the New York Jets.
In her weekly report for NFL.com, Cynthia Frelund marks the Jets as her “sleeper team” headed into Week 8 of the NFL season. Frelund fully takes into account the Jets’ listless 33-0 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots on Monday night into consideration. But, armed with her analytical model, she provides reasoning for a revolution on both sides of the ball.
On offense, Frelund believes the Jets will take advantage of a trade Sunday’s opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, made that sent All-Pro defender Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams.
