Jets in focus as 2010 schedule announced

By Bud L. Ellis

Nobody’s going to be surprised by the New York Jets in 2010. And even if people though the Jets could sneak up on people this season, they’ll be on prime time plenty of times.

The National Football League has announced game times and dates for the 2010 schedule. The Jets, who came within one victory of the Super Bowl last season, are a team that will be watched closely this season.

It starts on Monday Night Football Sept. 13 at home against Baltimore. After a showdown with AFC East rival New England in week 2 at home, the Jets play at Miami on Sunday Night Football on Sept. 26. A visit to Buffalo comes next, followed by a Monday Night Football meeting at home against NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings.

The Jets head to Denver for week 6 on Oct. 17, followed by the bye week on Oct. 24. The schedule resumes with a home game against Green Bay, followed by road games at Detroit and at Cleveland. A pair of home games follow, against Houston and Cincinnati, the Jets facing the Bengals on Thanksgiving Night.

The Jets visit the Patriots on Dec. 6 in a Monday Night Football matchup. A home date with Miami, two road contests — at Pittsburgh and at Chicago — and a home game against Buffalo round out the regular season.

Jets facing difficult home schedule this season

By Bud L. Ellis

Five home games against playoff teams await the New York Jets in 2010. If the Jets are going to repeat their push to the AFC championship game, they’re going to have to handle a very difficult home portion of their 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 announced yet.

But from just looking at the list of home games, the Jets know how difficult a task they have this season. Coming to play the Jets at home this season includes the AFC East champion New England Patriots, the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals, the NFC North champion and NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings, and a pair of wild-card teams, Baltimore and Green Bay.

The other home games come against AFC East rivals Buffalo and Miami, plus a visit from Houston.

The road schedule is nowhere near as tough. The Jets travel to New England to face the Patriots in the only road game against a playoff team. The rest of the road schedule includes games at Buffalo, at Miami, at Cleveland, at Pittsburgh, at Detroit, at Denver and at Chicago.

New York’s 2010 schedule ranks tied for 16th in the NFL (with Buffalo, Miami and Oakland), based on opponents’ winning percentage.
