The New York Jets will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. New York isn't expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn't stop them last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.
It was all tied up 14-14 at the half for the Jets and the Cleveland Browns last week, but New York stepped up in the second half for a 31-30 victory. New York QB Joe Flacco was slinging it as he passed for four TDs and 307 yards on 44 attempts. Flacco ended up with a passer rating of 147.70.
Speaking of close games: the point spread favored Cincinnati last week, but luck did not. It was a hard-fought matchup, but they had to settle for a 20-17 defeat against the Dallas Cowboys. No one had a standout game offensively for Cincinnati, but they got one touchdown from WR Tee Higgins. QB Joe Burrow ended up with a passer rating of 122.30.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed nine. K Evan McPherson delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
New York came out on top in a nail-biter against the Bengals when the two teams previously met in October of last year, sneaking past 34-31. Will the Jets repeat their success, or does Cincinnati have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
