Jets in spotlight in 2010

By Bud L. Ellis

After coming within one win of reaching the Super Bowl last season, the New York Jets will be squarely in the spotlight in 2010.

The National Football League has released game times and dates for the 2010 schedule. The Jets are one of the teams people will be watching closely in the upcoming season, and there will be plenty of opportunities for the Jets to play in prime time.

The season begins with a Monday Night Football matchup against Baltimore on Sept. 13 at home. Following a big home showdown with AFC East rival New England in week 2, the Jets travel to Miami for a Sunday Night Football showdown on Sept. 26. A trip to Buffalo is next, followed by a Monday Night Football matchup against the NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings at home.

Week 6 finds the Jets at Denver, followed by the bye week on Oct. 24. The second part of the schedule begins with a home game against Green Bay, followed by road contests at Detroit and at Cleveland. Two consecutive home games follow, against Houston and Cincinnati (the Bengals’ game a Thanksgiving Night contest).

The Jets then travel to New England Dec. 6 for a Monday Night Football showdown. A home game against Miami, two road games at Pittsburgh and at Chicago, and a home contest with Buffalo conclude the regular-season slate.

Big home games await Jets in 2010

By Bud L. Ellis

The New York Jets grabbed everybody’s attention last season, surging to the AFC championship game and falling just one victory short of an improbable trip to the Super Bowl.

But if the Jets are going to return to the January spotlight this season, they will have to weave their way through a daunting home schedule.

The National Football League has released its list of home games and road games for the upcoming season. Dates and times have not been finalized.

The Jets face playoff teams in five of their eight home games. AFC East champion New England, AFC wild-card team Baltimore, AFC North champ Cincinnati, NFC runner-up Minnesota and NFC wild-card qualifier Green Bay all play the Jets at home this season. The other three home games are against Houston, Buffalo and Miami.

On the road, it’s easier as the Jets meet just one playoff team, the Patriots. The rest of the road schedule includes trips to Buffalo, Miami, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Denver and Chicago.

The Jets’ schedule ranks tied for 16th in the NFL with Buffalo, Miami and Oakland, based on opponents’ winning percentage.
