The Opponent: Indianapolis Colts Much like the original cast of another metropolitan staple, Saturday Night Live, the modern New York Jets could well be described as “Not Ready for Prime Time Players”. The Jets’ only prime time game of the 2021 season (discounting a morning game against Atlanta in London) is a Thursday night contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Former division rivals will square off for the second straight season: the Jets will be seeking revenge for a 36-7 shellacking they endured at Lucas Oil Stadium, one that showed how far they had fallen since the 2018 trade that put Sam Darnold on a green path.
The Date: Week 8, November 4, 8:20 p.m. ET, Fox/NFL Network (@ IND)
The Series: Colts lead 43-32 (last meeting: 2020, 36-7 IND)
