Week 16 of the NFL season has arrived, and as usual the action will be kicked off with some primetime action.
This week’s edition of Thursday Night Football will feature the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars — two of the most surprising teams of the season — going at each other at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium. What does the matchup mean from a New England Patriots point of view, though? Let’s find out.
