The Patriots now stand in their way.
And this time the Jets are looking to dominate.
“We know what’s at stake. We know what we need to do,” slot receiver Jeremy Kerley said.
The Jets (9-5) still view their first meeting with the Patriots — a 30-23 loss in Foxborough on Oct. 25 — as a squandered opportunity. But the stage is set for the ultimate revenge game.
The Jets currently are on the outside looking in on the AFC wild-card playoff picture. A victory over their biggest rival would extend their winning streak to five games and bolster their chances of reaching the postseason.
