The New York Jets are set to open their preseason against the Bengals in Cincinnati, according to the Preseason schedule that was released earlier today. There's no set date yet but the game will take place between August 9th and August 13th. In Week 2 the Gang Green will play against their crosstown rivals, the New York Giants. Then, in Week 3 the Jets will host the Carolina Panthers on August 26th. Finally, in Week 4 the Jets will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.
The NFL announced its preseason schedule Tuesday - assuming the lockout is over in time for games to be played in August. The New York Jets will begin their preseason on the road against the Houston Texans. The game will be televised in primetime on Monday, Aug. 15 on ESPN.
The New York Jets played basically a mistake free game, as they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals on the road, 24-14, and are through to the Divisional Playoffs. Both rookies, QB Mark Sanchez and RB Shonn Greene, played pivotal roles in this great win. Sanchez, battling both single degree wind chills and playoff pressure, performed admirably. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 182 yards, 1 TD and 0 INT. He became the first rookie quarterback who completed over 70% of his passes in a playoff game. Greene ran for 135 yards on 21 carries (6.4 yards per carry) and scored the first Jets' touchdown on a 39-yard run in the second quarter.

The New York Jets did not play particularly well coming off a bye week, but their effort turned out to be enough to beat the winless Cincinnati Bengals, 26-14. The Gang Green improved to 3-2 and are now 3-0 in games immediately following a bye under coach Eric Mangini.
