After an early-season run through the fire, featuring games against four straight 2018 playoff teams, the New York Jets will seemingly see a lighter stretch in the middle portion of the season. That could start in Week 8 when they visit the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jacksonville is a really interesting team. Mentioning them as the start of an “easy” stretch is a slight, but there’s a decent shot a trip to Jacksonville is no gimme this year. The team is fewer than 20 months removed from a trip to the AFC Championship Game. They’re stacked on defense and finally made an aggressive move at quarterback, grabbing Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.
