The NFC has two intriguing matchups in playoff positioning, but the AFC might have the best game of the week with the New York Jets (4-1) facing the undefeated New England Patriots (5-0). We highlight the top games from Sunday, each in a different time slot.
New York Jets (4-1) at New England Patriots (5-0)
The Patriots won two close contests last year between these two teams by a combined three points, and now the Jets have a new coaching staff that most figure upgrades their team.
To wit: the Jets are a top-10 team in five of the six main offensive and defensive rankings – eighth in offense (first in rushing, 21st in passing) and first in defense (second in both rushing defense and passing defense).
