FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—The New York Jets have not gone by their “Titans” moniker since 1962. This Sunday, however, it could serve them well to return to a Titans mindset, if only for one weekend.
The Jets will commence their annual pair with the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon (1:00 p.m. ET, CBS), and the two teams enter in surprisingly similar predicaments. The MetLife Stadium portion of the yearly rivalry comes with both teams reeling from humiliating defeats headed into their respective bye weeks.
Nothing more needs to be written in tri-state area publications about the Jets’ 41-10 home loss to the lowly Buffalo Bills, though green-clad fans were granted a quantum of solace in the Patriots’ 34-10 demise at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in Nashville.
