With their split of Monday’s doubleheader over the Braves, the Mets are in the playoffs for the second time in three years. After a brief 24 hour respite, the Mets return to Milwaukee and the not so friendly confines of American Family Field to play the Brewers in a three-game Wild Card series. 

The games air on ESPN. Broadcasting the game will be Jon “Boog” Sciambi, former Cubs, Phillies, and Rangers outfielder Doug Glanville and Jesse Rogers. The game will also available on the ESPN app and on ESPN+. 

The Mets’ usual television home, SNY, will feature extensive pre and post-game shows before and after each playoff game. 

The Mets’ home radio broadcast will be anchored by Howie Rose, alongside Keith Raad, with Pat McCarthy doing pre and post-game coverage on 880 AM locally and via the Audacy app through the Audacy Mets Radio Network.

The Jets offense looked like it found its footing in a Thursday night win over the Patriots in Week Three, but they lost it again in Sunday’s game against the Broncos.

Denver’s defense sacked Aaron Rodgers five times and they never let the Jets get into the end zone over the course of the game at MetLife Stadium. The Jets still had a chance to win the game in the final minute, but Rodgers misfired on a third down pass and kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 50-yard field goal to send the Broncos home as 10-9 winners.

The Jets had turned the ball over to the Broncos on their side of the field after a fourth down sack, but the Broncos couldn’t pick up a first down to ice the game and kicker Wil  Lutz missed a 50-yard kick of his own. It was a fitting end to a game that looked like no one was trying to win for most of the afternoon.

The Broncos had 46 yards at halftime and quarterback Bo Nix threw for minus-7 yards in the first half. The Jets only managed two field goals as heavy rain contributed to fumbles by both teams and a lot of sloppy play.

The Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column, courtesy of the New York Giants. In an injury-filled “Thursday Night Football” game, the Cowboys held on for a 20-15 win against their NFC East rivals. 

It is starting quarterback Dak Prescott’s 13th straight win over New York. The Dallas defense was the difference-maker. After back-to-back rough outings against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the unit locked down the Giants run game, allowing 26 yards on the ground, and forced quarterback Daniel Jones to air it out if he wanted to win.

Giants rookie Malik Nabers was up to the task, with 12 receptions for 115 yards, but few others were. Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards. Prescott, meanwhile, went 22-for-27 for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb had 98 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, both teams were bit by the injury bug. Cowboys defensive standouts Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs and DeMarcus Lawrence all left the game at different points with injuries, while Nabers was ruled out in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
