The Jets are set to host the defending champion Chiefs at MetLife Stadium for “Sunday Night Football.”

Once billed to be a matchup between two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, New York will now have to rely on Zach Wilson to win a shootout against Patrick Mahomes.

The Jets’ defense will be put to the test against a Kansas City offense that just put up 41 points in a blowout win over the Bears last week. New York is coming off a hard-fought loss to its division rival Patriots, a result that has put its preseason Super Bowl hopes in question.

Can the Jets bounce back and upset Mahomes and the Chiefs in New York? Or will Kansas City continue its momentum and pick up a third-straight win after losing on opening night?
