The Jets from New York‘The terrible start to the season cost them a primetime game like the N.F.L announced that she was the Jets‘Week 11 showdown with the Indianapolis foals of Sunday night football.
New Yorkwhich was willing to host that game with the Colts, will now face them at MetLife Stadium on November 17 at 1 p.m.
The NFL moved the game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers in that Sunday evening slot as part of their flex scheduling.
With this move the Jets (3-6) will play Eastern games at 1 p.m. for the rest of the season, starting with the Colts game.
Sunday’s match with the Arizona Cardinals is set for 4:25 pm eastern.
Because the Jets-Colts game has been moved to Sunday, this means the network designation has also changed. The Jets-Colts game moves to CBS. This means five of the Jets’ next seven games will appear on CBS.
The network designation for New York’s final with Miami on January 5 has yet to be determined.
The Jets come out this weekend after an extended break and are coming off a 21-13 victory over the Houston Texansa game now remembered more for wide receiver Garrett Wilson’s incredible one-handed catch than for snapping the team’s five-game losing streak.
It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for the Jets, as owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start and they named defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as their interim coach.
New York lost three games in a row, with Ulbrich leading the way. During that part of the losing streak, the Jets made a trade to acquire wide receiver Davante Adams and also acquired edge rusher Haason Reddick to end his holdout, but only after his original agents walked away from representing him.
Both players contributed to the Jets’ victory over the Texans, as Adams caught the final touchdown pass of the game, and his first for the Jets, while Reddick pressured the quarterback several times and finished with half a sack, his first of the season.
The trade deadline is set for Tuesday afternoon and it’s not clear if the Jets will make any sort of additional moves to try to strengthen the roster for what could be a long chase to end their 14-year playing streak drought.
New York begins its practice cycle before the Cardinals game on Wednesday.
