In East Rutherford, N.J., the Atlanta Falcons have faced quarterback problems along with a three-game losing streak and a record below .500. Surprisingly, they are tied for the NFC South lead. The Falcons (5-6) managed to make the most of the bye week after their losing streak to make a comeback win against New Orleans in a high-energy rivalry match. The next test is whether the team can secure back-to-back wins for the first time since their 2-0 start.
Meanwhile, the New York Jets (4-7) have experienced a decline in performance. They are currently on a four-game losing streak, which led to a change in quarterbacks from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle. Head coach Robert Saleh has encouraged his team to improve and focus on what’s within their control.
The potential comeback of Aaron Rodgers from a torn Achilles tendon is a significant story. The Jets are hoping that Rodgers will be cleared by the doctors to play at the end of the season, but their main focus is on winning games.
As for the upcoming game, the Jets are prepared to have Boyle starting for a second consecutive time. On the other hand, Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder and Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, who were former teammates in Cincinnati, are geared up to compete against each other in the NFL.
Jets running back Breece Hall, who had a strong start to the season, is looking to improve his performance, while the Falcons are satisfied with their backfield depth. Overall, both teams are preparing to face off against each other at MetLife Stadium.
