Sunday is Fan Appreciation Day at MetLife Stadium, but the Jets have a funny way of showing appreciation for the fans.
The Jets have selected former linebacker Mo Lewis to be their “pilot of the game,” an honorary captain who does a few things on game day, including being at midfield for the coin toss. Lewis, of course, is the man who ushered in the Tom Brady era, and the misery that has come along with it when he hit Drew Bledsoe in 2001, injuring the Patriots quarterback, who was replaced by Brady.
Four Super Bowl titles later, Lewis has a huge place in Patriots history.
