It’s the final game in Giants Stadium, barring an unlikely playoff matchup where the Jets would be a higher seed. The playoffs are on the line tonight when the 8-7 Jets host the 10-5 Bengals.
For Cincinnati, who has already clinched a playoff berth, only a New England loss this afternoon will make this game significant at all. If the Patriots were to lose to Houston, a Bengals’ win would result in them picking up the three-seed in the AFC.
For the Jets, it’s win and they’re in.
It’s likely that these two teams will meet again next weekend in the first round of the playoffs, assuming the Jets get there with a win tonight. The big question is how long the Bengals will play their starters. Sound familiar?
Chad Ochocinco vs Darrelle Revis. Tonight it happens on the field instead of on Twitter. And it’s the Jets’ top-ranked rushing attack versus the Bengals’ rush defense, ranked second in the league.
The Jets and Bengals play the final game of the regular season. A must-win for the Jets. It will be cold, windy, and perhaps even snowing tonight at Giants Stadium. Would you expect it to be any other way?
Jets 20, Bengals 10
