Jacksonville Jaguars Vs New York Jets

NFL Week 16 kicks off with The (6-8) Jacksonville Jaguars heading down to MetLife Stadium to take on the (7-7) New York Jets on Thursday night football exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Kickoff will be at 7:15 PM central daylight time. 

The Jaguars pulled off a 40-34 upset victory against the Dallas Cowboys in overtime thanks to the Jaguars defense making an interception into a Pick 6. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been on a mission in recent weeks against Dallas he had a little over 300 yards passing and four touchdown passes which three of them were to Zay Jones. The Jaguars defense has been somewhat struggling allowing a lot of yards through the passing game and allowing opponents to stay in the game, they’ll need to do a better job at forcing three and outs. The Jaguars defense should have no problem stopping whoever is under center for the Jets, the Jets haven’t been able to get anything going consistently on offense. 

The Jets came off a 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in a game in which Zach Wilson returned to the starting quarterback role. In Wilson’s return he had 317 passing yards along with two passing touchdowns. The offensive struggles continue for the Jets as they cannot find a recipe for success in the run game but the passing game seems to be getting better against the lions and hope to improve upon that against the Jaguars. As for the Jets defense they’ve done their job all season long and are the main reason they are in playoff contention, it’s unfortunate they’ve been on the field for too much of the game and surrendered points due to fatigue. If the Jets want to win this one, they’ll have to figure out how to score and win time of possession on offense.

An AFC conference matchup should be interesting as both the Jets and Jaguars are trying to fight for a playoff spot.
