Under normal (winning) circumstances, a “tricky matchup” would feature an underdog whose personnel and scheme matches up well with a winning team. The 2020 New York Jets are anything but normal.
There’s just one light at the end of the tunnel for this 0-11 squad. His name is Trevor Lawrence, the kid who represents the grand prize for the team that finishes last in the league.
A tricky matchup for this team constitutes a team that may not match up against the Jets as well as just about every other team in the league. While the Jets probably have a better chance to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars—the team currently nipping at New York’s heels—the 6-5 Las Vegas Raiders don’t match-up tremendously.
