A victory across the pond clinches a winning streak for the Jets heading into their bye week.

Can New York take care of business against another 1-3 opponent, the Atlanta Falcons? 

Both of these teams have struggled this season. The Jets' offense has been inconsistent, leading the league in interceptions (8) while posting averaging 11.8 points per game, the lowest in football. 

Meanwhile, Atlanta's defense allows 32 points per game on average. That's also the worst in football.

Something's gotta give.

The Jets have a healthy wide receiver room for the first time this season, looking to build on their promising performance last week against the Titans. If rookie quarterback Zach Wilson can avoid silly mistakes through the air—the Falcons still don't have an interception on defense yet this season—Gang Green should be able to put points on the board. 

On the other side, as much as veteran quarterback Matt Ryan is capable of threading the needle against any defense, New York has proven this season that they can keep a lid on most aerial attacks. The Jets have allowed only two passing touchdowns this year (the best in the league) while limiting opponents to 353.5 total yards per game (13th-best mark in football).

One player to watch on Sunday is Cordarrelle Patterson. With Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage out for Atlanta, Patterson should get plenty of touches in his versatile role. Last week he had three touchdowns against the Washington Football Team, racking up more than 100 yards from scrimmage.
