28. New York Jets (1-4) – Play on MNF

Recap: What a difference a week makes! The New York Jets finally welcomed back their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, and promptly upset the Dallas Cowboys for their first win of the season. Not only did Darnold lift the offense to heights it couldn’t sniff during his absence, but the Jets’ defense also came to play and held the Cowboys in check just enough to edge out a win in Week 6.

Outlook: Slowly but surely, the Jets are starting to get healthy and could see the return of star linebacker C.J. Mosley, who has played in just one game this season and is listed as questionable for Monday night. No matter what happens with Mosley, the Jets will actually have a chance to be competitive now that Darnold is back, although he’ll have a tough test against one of the best defenses in the NFL in the New England Patriots in Week 7.
