Week 9 of the NFL season kicks off with the New York Jets traveling to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Indianapolis Colts this evening. Sure, it’s no Packers vs. Cardinals, like we were treated to last week, but it does feature *checks notes* Mike White under center for the Jets. Although to be fair, White did throw for 405 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets upset Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the Meadowlands.
Both of these teams have been mediocre at best this season, so maybe we’re going to catch an exciting matchup between two desperate teams. Or, we’ll get a “who can be less bad” matchup. Either way, we’ve got some football to watch tonight.
Also, fun fact; the Jets have the Williams brothers (Quinnen and Quincy) on defense who have been pretty entertaining this year, so we have that to look forward to as well.
