Why the New York Jets can contain this elite Detroit weapon
For the longest time, the New York Jets have struggled mightily to contain high-level tight ends.

NY Jets have a golden opportunity they can’t waste vs. Lions
Finishing drives in the NFL is crucial for success. Teams that consistently win in this league can rack up points in bunches by turning field-goal opportunities into touchdowns. Folks, it’s 2026. Yes, the “defense wins championships” cliché is still relevant, but in today’s NFL, it’s an offense-driven game. Two games into the regular season, the ...

Why Kenyon Sadiq’s NY Jets breakout could begin in Week 3
It isn’t often you see NFL teams draft a tight end in the top half of the first round nowadays.

The Detroit Lions paradox that NY Jets must solve
Passing efficiency wins games in the NFL. Since 2020, NFL teams have a record of 1,299-343-5 when finishing a game with a better passer rating than their opponent, which equates to a winning percentage of .790. It’s no wonder, then, that quarterbacks are considered the most important players in the sport. And if quarterbacks are ...

This week against the Detroit Lions, the New York Jets’ edge rushers will face an intriguing test.

NY Jets: Does Frank Reich’s 4th-down explanation deserve props?
“Transparent” is a word you don’t often hear used to describe NFL coaches. New York Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich displayed transparency in spades during his Thursday press conference.

The stat that must feel incredibly unusual for NY Jets fans
NFL games are won and lost through the air. That’s the way it’s been for decades now.

Why haven’t the NY Jets used Pro Bowl CB Nahshon Wright?
One of the New York Jets’ most fascinating offseason additions in 2026 was cornerback Nahshon Wright.
