2. Away: New England Patriots

Do you want to know when the last time the New York Jets won a football game up in New England against the Patriots was?

You’d have to scroll all the way back to the 2010 Divisional playoff game. That night, Mark Sanchez and a dominant defensive performance fueled an iconic 28-21 win against Tom Brady.

Now that many Jets fans have gone down memory road, getting another win in New England is long overdue. Well, 2020 welcomes the best chances of that happening in years.

Tom Brady is out, now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Of course, it would be foolish to label the Patriots done for. Bill Belichick is still running the show, which means you cannot write he and the Pats off yet.

At the same time, it’s also unfair to think the Patriots will be the same force they had been for the last decade plus. Meaning, the Jets need to go up and make a statement against a big rival.

Again, you must change the feel around the team. At one point, you must win these games and compete. Within the division, feelings have changed for the time being. The Jets need to win this game and prove they’re ready for their own run.

Want to know the last time the Jets got any win against the Pats? 2015 at home. It’s time to get to knock them around.
