NFL executive reveals Jets prime-time slate

The NY Jets received a record number of prime-time matches over the 1^st 3 months of the 2024 campaign because the appeal of 4-time MVP Aaron Rodgers was too elite to ignore, the league announced today.

“Without a doubt, it’s an awful lot of prime-time games at the beginning of the campaign, but, obviously, I feel like Jets kind of owe us one,” the National Football League’s vice president of broadcast planning shared with the media today.

Rodgers and his teammates have 6 night matches in the 1^st 11 weeks, the most for any franchise since the 1970 merger. The league and its TV networks went big on the team in the past campaign – 5 matches in prime time – but it backfired when Aaron sustained a campaign-ending injury in the opener.

The Jets have 2 matches on MNF, 2 matches on the SNF and 2 matches on the TNF. They open the MNF schedule against the 49ers on September 9^th.
