The Jets just got slapped with the NFL’s most brutal schedule: zero prime-time games in 2026, with fourteen afternoons at 1 PM and two regional games at 4:05 PM. They’re joined by four other teams who’ve been snubbed — but for the Jets, it’s especially harsh given their massive fanbase. Head coach Aaron Glenn’s philosophy — “you earn your keep” — fits perfectly. After trading away stars, finishing 1-7, and missing the playoffs since 2010, the league’s not rewarding a team that’s been out of the conversation for a decade. Their poor night game record might actually be a blessing in disguise as they rebuild. The only hope? A flex spot in Week 18 — but that means they’d have to be playoff contenders by December. Bottom line: if they want lights, they’ve got to earn them on the field.
