2020 Schedules Will Be Very Tough for Jets and Giants
When there is a football season, if there is a football season in 2020, it figures to be another rough one for the Giants and Jets. Not only are both teams still in the midst of a multi-year rebuild phase, but the both squads are going to see daunting schedules at hand. Granted, we all know that things can change during the course of a long season, but a gander at these schedules isn't pretty.
The Giants open the season at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Of course it's anyone's guess if we even have football by Week 1, but if we do the match-up is very intriguing for no other reason then the fact that the Rooney's and Mara's are both related by marriage. Call it a family squabble?
Big Blue will also see the NFC Champion 49ers, Rams and Cowboys within the seasons first five weeks. The oddity of the schedule comes in the middle of the season with Big Blue playing all of its games against the Eagles and Redskins in a period of five weeks.
Meanwhile for the Jets, they have a difficult road this year with the league's second hardest schedule in the NFL based on last season's win percentage. The Jets open the season in Buffalo -- again -- before facing the 49ers in Week 2 at MetLife Stadium.
After a visit to Indianapolis in Week 3, the Jets host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.
The oddity of the schedule? The Jets face the Dolphins in virtually back to back games in Weeks 10 and 12 with only a bye week separating the contests - an oddity that hasn't happened in the NFL since 1991.
