NFL Regular Season Week 12 – The Jets Flight Crew

The New York Jets had a tough match up against their division rival New England Patriots and it was even more difficult when the Jets had to start long time journeyman Josh McCown in the place of injured started Sam Darnold.  Surprisingly, the Jets hung tough for the first half, tying the score at ten points at the intermission, but the second half was another story.  Holding the Jets to three points, the Pats showed why many considered them to be one of the best teams in the NFL.  Final score: Patriots – 27, Jets – 13.

It’s been a while since we have shared some photos of the Jets Flight Crew with our readers, so here are a few of the best from the Jets.  Click here to view the Jets entire game day gallery of images.

Let me say this, I love the Jets Flight Crew’s collegiate style uniforms…they look great on the girls.
