Good morning, New York sports fans. Like it or not today is all about the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets Jets when it comes to the local sports landscape.
↵If you have been living under a rock or on a deserted island for the past week maybe you didn't know that the New York Jets are in New England today to face the Patriots (4:30 p.m. ET, CBS) in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. The winner will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. Oh, and if you have been living under a rock you missed a great week of trash talk. Hopefully, the game is as entertaining.
