The New York Jets are entering NFL Week 13 action with a game coming up against the New York Giants. What are the five biggest rumors heading into this week for the Jets?
1. Can Chris Ivory Get Back to Playing Like a Superstar?
At the start of the season, Chris Ivory looked like a superstar running back. Since then, he has calmed down quite a bit and the Jets need him to step up again. Ivory has a chance to light up the Giants' defensive line, but he has to come out and establish himself early as a threat to get the necessary carries in the Jets' offense.
2. Will Brandon Marshall Continue His Superstar Caliber Production?
Acquiring Brandon Marshall ahead of the 2015 NFL season was a huge move for the Jets. They have been searching for a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver for a long time and finally found one. Marshall is one of the better receivers in the game and it will be intriguing to see whether or not he can continue his superstar caliber production this week.
3. Can New York's Secondary Become the Best in the NFL?
Bringing Darrelle Revis back to New York was one of the bigger moves of this past offseason, but the Jets' secondary still has some holes. They have the talent to be one of the top secondaries in the NFL with the players that they have put together. New York can be the best secondary in the NFL, but they have to put everything together in order to get there.
4. Is Ryan Fitzpatrick the QB That Can Take the Jets Into the Playoffs?
Over the past five to ten years, the quarterback position has become the most valuable position in the NFL. Ryan Fitzpatrick is currently the starter for New York and he has to prove that he is capable of leading the Jets to the playoffs. It can start this week against a quality Giants' football team and it will be intriguing to see if he is ready to step up to the challenge.
5. Are the Jets the Best Team in New York?
Knocking off the Giants would go a long ways towards gaining the bragging rights in New York, while they are very comparable to the Buffalo Bills as well. Winning this week would be a huge win for the fan base, as facing the Giants is always a big rivalry. The Jets have to come out strong this week immediately and set the tone from the get-go.
