EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The onslaught against the Jets began early Monday night at MetLife Stadium. Not from the Indianapolis Colts, although that would come too, but from the Jets’ own fans. With a nationally televised game and a viewing window all to themselves, this was an opportunity for Jets fans to air their grievances to a wide audience — lest anyone focus on the team itself.
It took just 54 seconds for the initial boos to descend onto the field. The Colts had not even scored a point yet, but Ryan Fitzpatrick’s incomplete pass was the first trigger.
