With that, here are five storylines to watch for ahead of the Jets' against the Falcons in Week 13:
Another week of Tyrod
Nov 23, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (2) drops back during the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn ImagesThe Jets offense looked better on the eye against the Baltimore Ravens last week in Tyrod Taylor's first start at quarterback since Justin Fields was benched. It was still a loss and New York only mustered up 10 points.
Can the Jets offense put the two together against the Falcons?
Redemption for Breece

Can Hall from some redemption with the Jets offense against Atlanta?
Teams sliding have anything to play for?

Mosley (57) and defensive end John Franklin-Myers (91) and defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson (70) during the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium.

The Falcons are in a weird place. They've lost five-straight games for their 4-7 record. But because of the average play out of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-5) and the Carolina Panthers (6-6), they technically do have something to play for in the NFC South...

Facing Kirk Cousins
Nov 23, 2025; New Orleans, Louisiana, USA; Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins (18) warms up prior to a game New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome. Mandatory Credit: Matthew Hinton-Imagn ImagesAdding a curveball to the Falcons: Kirk Cousins is starting his second-straight game at quarterback since Atlanta's younger option in Michael Penix Jr. went down for the season because of injury.
What will the Jets expect to see out of Cousins?
More run for the new and young
Nov 23, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; New York Jets wide reciever John Metchie III (3) celebrates after scoring a touchdown during the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn ImagesPlenty of players across the Jets roster are clearly starting to see playing time. Wide receiver John Metchie III second for a second-straight game last week, so he's a name to watch on offense.
On defense, what about Mazi Smith? The former first-round pick recently traded to the Jets from the Dallas Cowboys was inactive last week. Does he get back out there against the Falcons?
