The Atlanta Falcons will travel to East Rutherford, New Jersey to face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in week 13 of the NFL season with the game scheduled to start at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon and will air on Fox.

Even though Atlanta enters this game below .500 with a record of 5-6, they are tied for 1^st place with the New Orleans Saints for 1^st place in the NFC South following last week’s 24-15 win at home against the Saints which also ended their three-game losing streak. 

The Falcons have been a below-average scoring team this season as they enter this game averaging 19.36 points per game, however, Bijan Robinson and the rushing offense have been one of the best in the NFL as they enter this game averaging the 4^th most rushing yards per game. Robinson can be attributed to the success the Falcons have had in the running game as he enters this game leading the team in rushing with 703 rushing yards and three touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 240 yards and three touchdowns.

The New York Jets looked like they may be competitive even with the Aaron Rodgers injury as they started the season 3-3, however, since that start they have lost four games in a row including last week’s 13-34 loss at home against the Miami Dolphins. 

The Jets have one of the worst offenses in the league as they are averaging the 3^rd fewest points per game with an average of 14.82 points per game and Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle have struggled as starting quarterbacks as they have combined to have completed 224 of 373 attempts for 2,156 yards with seven touchdowns and ten interceptions and the Jets rank 31^st in passing yards per game with an average of 166.82 passing yards per game. They will look to end their four-game losing streak when they host the Atlanta Falcons in week 13 of the NFL season.
