Was the full NY Jets 2021 schedule just leaked on Twitter?
By Justin Fried
The NY Jets schedule for the 2021 season may have just been leaked on Twitter hours before the official release later tonight.
The NFL is set to officially release the schedules for all 32 NFL teams later tonight, at 8 p.m. ET. However, as per usual, we oftentimes tend to find out the majority of the scheduled games before the official release.
As of now, the Jets have officially announced two games for the 2021 season. They are set to travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 1 and they will be flying across the pond to face the Atlanta Falcons in London in Week 5.
Those are the only two official games to this point. However, the complete schedule may have just been released on Twitter.
The NY Jets schedule for the 2021 season may have been leaked
Independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman has released what appears to be the complete Jets schedule. It includes the games against the Panthers and Falcons as well as a variety of other games that seem to align with other leaks that have been reported.
Below is a look at the complete schedule, including preseason games.
Again, this is unofficial and has not been confirmed by the team or any verified team reporters. But if this schedule leak is to be believed, the Jets have some pretty interesting storylines ahead.
The Jets would only have two nationally televised games in this schedule. One against the Falcons in London (which has already been confirmed) and one against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football in Week 9.
Brian Costello of the NY Post reported that the Jets would play the Colts at that time earlier in the day, seemingly confirming that game.
The Jets would have their home opener in Week 2 against the New England Patriots before playing just one home game over the next month. It isn't the easiest start to the schedule.
However, the Jets do play their fair share of home games in the second half with just one road game between December 5th and January 2nd, a brief trip to Miami in Week 15.
It's balanced out, though, with consecutive games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills to end the season.
Once more, all of this is completely unofficial. We will know soon enough if this information is accurate.
