The Jets knew they were going to play on Monday Night Football in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. That wasn’t changing. But there was a chance that their Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders would be get flexed out. That chance officially became zero on Tuesday.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL has decided to keep Jets-Raiders in the Sunday night slot in two weeks. That means the Jets will in fact have two straight primetime games coming up and will have four more total, if you include Black Friday which kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET.
No flex: The Week 10 Sunday Night Football game between the Jets and Raiders was not flexed out of before today’s deadline. So on Nov. 12, it’ll be Jets at Raiders, 8:20 pm, as scheduled.

There is a slight chance their Week 17 Thursday game against the Cleveland Browns gets moved, but we’re still weeks away from that happening. For now, the Jets remain with plenty of national exposure for the second half of the season.
