New York Jets 2020 Schedule Breakdown

As Adam Gase starts his second season as head coach of the Jets, he and his team will start the 2020 season against a familiar opponent in AFC East rival the Buffalo Bills. In 2019 the Jets finished with a 7-9 record despite QB Sam Darnold missing three games. According to William Hill, New York has the 5th hardest schedule in the NFL based on their opponent’s record from a year ago.

- The Jets’ TEs gained fewer than 40 yards receiving in 13 games and had one catch or less in six contests.
- New York’s defense allowed only 3.34 yards per rush (2nd), but RBs did score ten rushing TDs.
