Why Jets must beat Jon Gruden’s Raiders

Thanksgiving Day. A juicy butterball turkey, friends and loved ones passing you the gravy, so much to be thankful for.

Except you are a Jets fan.

Are you supposed to be thankful for a third straight 3-7 start? A ninth straight turkey trot to nowhere?

You can be thankful Sam Darnold has recovered from his mononucleosis and his ghosts. You can be thankful Jamal Adams is becoming a shining star.

How about a three-game winning streak?

Is that too much to ask?

After all your blind loyalty to your J-E-T-S! Jets ! Jets! Jets! All your suffering, all your torment, all your Januarys watching the Patriots and everybody else:

Is that too much to ask?

How about your Jets beating…
