Here is why the Jets could come out victorious on Monday night.
The last time we saw Los Angeles, they notched a cathartic blowout victory over the Bears on Sunday Night Football. But the Chargers still sit at 3-4, with apparent issues plaguing them on both sides of the ball.
Here are four reasons to be concerned that those issues sink them against the Jets on Monday night.
Here is why the Chargers could beat the Jets on Monday night.
The Chargers return to primetime on Monday night following a get-right win over the Bears last Sunday night. Their opponent increases in quality, but only on one side of the ball, with the Jets hosting Los Angeles.
Here are four reasons to believe the Bolts will put together their second straight win.
Here’s how the Chargers and Jets stack up statistically ahead of the Week 9 matchup.
The Chargers and Jets are set to square off on Monday in a primetime showdown.
Here’s how Los Angeles and New York stack up statistically ahead of the Week 9 matchup:
Two more 49ers defensive coaches are joining Robert Saleh’s coaching staff with the New York Jets.
The migration of coaches from the San Francisco 49ers’ staff to the New York Jets’ staff didn’t end with Robert Saleh and Mike LaFleur heading east. Two more coaches who were with the 49ers last season, Tony Oden and Mike Ruttenberg, will both join Saleh’s defensive staff with the Jets according to reports.
NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported Oden would take over as a senior assistant and cornerbacks coach in New York. Oden joined the 49ers’ staff last season as the defensive backs and cornerbacks coach, so his role will be similar with his new club.
Ruttenberg was the passing game coordinator for San Francisco last season in his only year on the staff. He’ll be taking on a new role with the Jets and coaching their linebackers according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
The 49ers in late January added former Lions defensive coordinator Cory Undlin to their staff. He’ll absorb both the roles vacated by Oden and Ruttenberg. ESPN’s Field Yates reported Undlin would be the passing game coordinator and coach the defensive backs.
Georgia football great Jordan Jenkins is re-upping with the New York Jets.
Former Georgia linebacker Jordan Jenkins is resigning with the club that drafted him, per Ian Rapoport.
After starting in 50 of the New York Jets games over the past four seasons and leading the team in sacks last year, the former Harris County High (GA) four-star recruit is inking a one-year extension worth $5M.
The #Jets are re-signing OLB Jordan Jenkins on a 1-year deal worth $5M, source said. After a career-high in sacks, he’s back at the table next year.

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that the Jets and the 2016 third-round pick will sign the 25 year old free agent mainly due to Jenkin’s relationship and improvement with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
The 6-3, 259-pound Jenkins had 15 sacks and 28 quarterback hits in the past two seasons. He has earned approximately $4.3 million during the past four seasons. He will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2020 season.
CBS Sports released a full NFL mock draft that included 7 Georgia football players being taken.
Most NFL mock drafts that we’ve seen over the past couple of months have had 2-3 Georgia football players going in the first round.
However, in CBS Sports’ most recent 7-round mock draft, the outlet has just one Dawg taken in the first round, and that’s left tackle Andrew Thomas.
Analyst Chris Trapasso projects the New York Jets to take Thomas with the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL Draft, which is currently scheduled for April 23 in Las Vegas.
On Thomas, Trapasso wrote:
Jets GM Joe Douglas knows how vital an offensive line is after his time in Philadelphia. Thomas was outstanding the two seasons at Georgia and has length for days.
Trapasso has Thomas ranked as the 15th overall player in the draft class and 4th ranked offensive tackle.
In total, Trapasso has seven Georgia players going in the draft.
