It might not rival the basketball war of the late 1990s, but a new athletic rivalry between squads from New York and Florida may soon brew in Jacksonville.
The New York Jets head to the Sunshine State’s central regions in an attempt to get their season back on track against the local Jaguars (1:00 p.m. ET, CBS). It marks the Jets’ second consecutive schedule with a visit to TIAA Bank Stadium.
Last year’s meeting was a Week 4 showdown. Jacksonville, then-defending AFC finalists, entered at 2-1. One of those wins came over the mighty New England Patriots, offering them a quantum of revenge for their loss in the previous January’s conference title game.
