I would not mind this, but in talking about not having a night game to be fair to other teams who will play in the playoffs the following week, the Jets luck would be a Sunday night game and then the early Wild Card game the next Saturday. haha.
Or New England loses vs. Arizona. Not to mention a Jets loss would not lose all meaning. Miami would still be playing for the division title.
You know I have to agree this game has so much more to it then just a Divisional win. And the networks will do anything to make sure the ratings are high on the last game and I am sure will blow this game way out of proportion. BUT it will be fun to have the JETS get the SPOTLIGHT in a game that matters. Instead of thinking where we fall in the draft picks. Granted we need to win this week. THEN the hype begins.
"In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice. (as opposed to the normal 12 days notice required for weeks 11-16)"
