It’s not often that two NFL teams face off twice in a three-game span. The New York Jets and New England Patriots are about to do just that.
Division rivals in the NFL always face each other twice a year, but those games are usually separated by quite a few weeks. Because of the time that typically separates these two matchups, it almost feels as if, when teams meet up the second time, each squad is a completely different version of itself compared to the first time they met. Momentum has changed, philosophies have changed, and many players have both returned and exited due to injuries.
