What stands out?

The Jets open the season against former head coach Robert Saleh who will be making his debut as head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

The home opener comes Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay isn’t likely to be a pushover, but the timing of this game could be fortunate for the Jets as Micah Parsons could begin the season on the physically unable to perform list, which means he would miss at least the first four games of the season.,

The toughest stretch of the schedule looks like Week 9 and 10 when the Jets get the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and the Bills and Josh Allen back to back.

The bye week is especially late this year in Week 13. If the Jets are able to surprise, the late bye could leave the team rested and fresh for the season’s home stretch.

Finally, it’s worth noting that the Jets have zero primetime games, not even on Thursday Night Football. That is unusual. It speaks to expectations. In fact, all Jets games are scheduled for 1:00 pm Sunday afternoon aside from their two trips to the Western part of the country. Of course, if the Jets are a surprise team those game times can be flexed into bigger timeslots. If you’re looking for a silver lining, this schedule is a win for fans who go to the games. 1:00 games are the best possible outcome for spectators.
