With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, we have our final “Thursday Night Football” game of the year, which sees Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns host Flacco’s former team, the New York Jets.
Cleveland is amazingly still alive for the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and is closing in on an AFC North title. New York is playing out the string to maneuver for whomever Aaron Rodgers decides he’ll allow them to draft next year, assuming he doesn’t force Joe Douglas to trade the pick for another of his former Packers teammates.
Still, there’s plenty on the line, and plenty to discuss. Can the Browns keep space at the top of the conference, or will the Jets play spoiler? We’ll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here’s a look at how you can watch the game.

When the Jets have the ball
New York’s Trevor Siemian-led offense was actually fairly successful last week against the Commanders, despite turning the ball over twice. New York piled up 381 yards, its most since Week 5 against Denver, thanks mostly to an outrageous 32-touch, 191-total-yard game from Breece Hall. It should be noted, though, that the Jets ran 90 (NINETY!) offensive plays on their 16 (SIXTEEN!) drives, meaning they did average just 4.2 yards per play against a unit that has allowed 5.9 per play (third-worst in the NFL) this year.
Needless to say, they are going to face a much different challenge on Thursday night in Cleveland. Cleveland leads the league in yards allowed per play and ranks second in points per drive, and is the only team in the league that has allowed a touchdown or field goal on less than a quarter of opponent possessions so far this season.
