The 4 easiest games on the Jets’ 2020 schedule

The Jets have the second-hardest strength of schedule in 2020, but will still run into easier games against the Dolphins, Raiders and Browns

The Jets’ schedule isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, New York owns the second-hardest strength of schedule in the NFL, right behind the Patriots.

On top of their six division games, the Jets will see the AFC and NFC West, as well as playing two potential playoff teams in the Colts and Browns. After stumbling to a 7-9 finish last season, it’s a possibility that the Jets could be a better team in 2020 and still finish with a worse record due to their schedule.

Any slate that involves playing Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, on their home turf is a tough one. With that said, the Jets’ schedule tends to ease up before its second and final primetime matchup of the season. Unfortunately, that also includes a two-week road trip to play both the Seahawks and Rams on their home turfs — the Jets’ only back-to-back road games in 2020.

Instead of focusing on the difficult, though, let’s take a look at the four easiest games on the Jets’ 2020 schedule.

Jets’ 2020 schedule locked in following win over Steelers

Next season, the Jets will host the Browns and travel to the Colts as their 2020 opponents were officially finalized.

With the Jets 16-10 upset victory over the Steelers on Sunday, their 2020 schedule is officially locked in.

Coming into Sunday’s matchup, everything was set in stone except two games for Gang Green. The AFC East will play the AFC and NFC West during the 2020 season. Also, the Jets will play six division games.

New York is scheduled to play the same division place-holder in the AFC North and South. With the Browns (6-9) losing to the Ravens on Sunday, they officially clinched a third-place finish. The Jets will host Cleveland for the second consecutive season at MetLife Stadium.

In the South, the Jets will travel to Indianapolis for the other game that was up in the air. The Colts (7-8) clinched a third-place finish, regardless of the results of next week’s division matchups.

With next year’s schedule set, the Jets will be playing five playoff teams in 2020. It’s not going to get easier for Adam Gase’s club next season, but a lot can change between now and opening day.
