Just when you thought the New York Jets were back, they pulled a prank on Halloween.
Gang Green's performance last week against Arizona feels like rock bottom for this team, but the good thing about hitting rock bottom is that there's only one way forward.
The Jets will face the Indianapolis Colts, who have lost three straight.
Their recent struggles have led to their second QB change of the season, with Anthony Richardson returning as Indianapolis' starter going forward.
It remains to be seen whether Richardson has honed his accuracy since being benched, but the sophomore's return has made the Colts' offense on the ground more dynamic.
Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor combined for an average of 5.4 yards per carry this season.
They'll do that against a Jets defense that has been decimated by points all year.
They rank 25th in rushing yards per game, according to Pro Football Focus, and their struggles are compounded by their ranking 29th in tackles for loss.
Another issue the Jets must address is tempo.
The Colts have the second-fastest offense in football in terms of seconds per play, but that tempo may also help keep the Jets' offense in rhythm.
New York has been a pass-heavy offense this year, largely due to the flow of the game, but throwing a pass to Rodgers in this game would give them the best chance to score.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
The Colts rank 28th in yards per pass allowed, 29th in opponent completion percentage and 24th in sack percentage.
Navigate the whole thing knowing that this will be an up-and-down affair.
