New Orleans at New York Jets Game Preview


Why New Orleans Will Win

The Jets still aren’t scoring.

They’re last in the NFL in scoring, yards, and things aren’t getting a whole lot better – the O hasn’t hit 270 yards in either of the last two games and now they’re going against a run defense that allows a league-low 3.6 yards per carry.
