FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- A look at what's going on around the New York Jets as they prepare for Saturday's Week 16 game at the New England Patriots:
1. Scrooged: Call it the Christmas curse.
Saturday will be the sixth Christmas-Eve game in Jets history -- a day that has produced some of the franchise's bleakest moments.
2011: The Victor Cruz game. He scored on a 99-yard touchdown and the Giants won, sinking the Jets' playoff hopes.
2000: In Al Groh's last game, the Jets blew a playoff berth on the final day of the season, losing to the Baltimore Ravens after jumping to a 14-0 lead.
