Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season kicks off with an AFC clash between the injury ravaged Houston Texans and the supremely disappointing New York Jets. Houston has managed to weather the storm while holding onto the AFC South lead with a 6-2 record. New York—even with Aaron Rodgers at the helm—has floundered on both sides of the ball en route to a last-place 2-6 record in the AFC East.
The Jets are in desperation mode, particularly with the Bills seemingly running away with the division. If New York can’t secure the upset win tonight, their playoff hopes will all but evaporate.
