They better do something to spruce up the broadcast, cause the game is likely to be a dud. The Patriots have already clinched the AFC East, and after Cincinatti wins over the weekend, will be unable to change thier seeding with a victory. The Jets don't have anything to play for, either, except a loss gives them a better chance of landing Reggie Bush in the draft.
