The Jets were widely expected to be featured in multiple primetime games this upcoming season after the team landed four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. 

The Jets-Dolphins rivalry dates back to 1966. Miami holds the advantage over New York with a 57-56-1 regular-season series record between the franchises.

Last season, the Jets were victorious during their home game against the Dolphins but dropped their road game against Miami.

The league also revealed NFC East division rivals — the Giants and the Eagles — would go head to head Christmas Day. The reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs will face off against Joe Burrow and the Bengals Dec. 31.
