Once again, the NFL decided to put a “New York” team in primetime, thereby giving football fans exactly what they hoped to watch. Tonight, the New York Jets welcome the Houston Texans to MetLife Stadium for Thursday Night Football.
A game that held plenty of intrigue when the season began, now features a Jets team bloated by talent that chose to punt the season away by parting ways with head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets, now 2-6, haven’t won a game since Saleh was given a personal escort out of their New Jersey campus — and they currently occupy the cellar of the AFC East.
