It’s time for revenge.

The Patriots smacked the Jets around in both games last season. This 3-4 Patriots team is in shambles right now.

Meanwhile, the Jets enter Sunday’s matchup with their hated division rival as winners of four straight and a shocking 5-2 record. All the momentum is with Robert Saleh’s squad right now. MetLife Stadium is going to be buzzing Sunday in a must-watch game.

To preview the game, talk about the trade for James Robinson and everything going on in a busy week in Jets-land, we bring you a new episode of the “Gang’s All Here” podcast with Brian Costello and me. We were joined by special guest starting Jets tight end Tyler Conklin. What a fun dude and a great interview.

Catch the “Gang’s All Here” live podcast at 5 p.m. Sunday at House of ‘Que at American Dream next to MetLife Stadium following the Jets-Patriots game. I’ll be co-hosting the show with former Jets fullback Tony Richardson. Come join us.

Gang’s All Here Podcast with Jake Brown & Brian Costello:

  • JAMES ROBINSON TRADE: I love the move from Joe Douglas to quickly replace Breece Hall with Robinson. He may not be as good a player, but he gives the Jets a solid replacement to pair with Michael Carter. Coz is more on the fence and thinks the Jets didn’t need to give up a 5th-round pick and could have stuck with the guys they had or pick up someone off another team’s practice squad.
  • OFFENSIVE LINE TRADE/ELIJAH MOORE: I believe Douglas should be looking to get another offensive lineman to replace Alijah-Vera Tucker. Coz doesn’t see there being anyone that is worth getting or could be too expensive to get. One guy not getting traded is Elijah Moore, who will play Sunday. With Corey Davis potentially out, this could be a big game for Moore after his frustrations the past few weeks.
  • PATRIOTS @ JETS PREVIEW: Vegas is disrespecting the Jets again making them a 1.5-point underdog. Zach Wilson may need to throw the ball more this week. Patriots are coming into this game off a brutal Monday night showing against the Bears. Mac Jones will start, but how long will he last? The MetLife Stadium crowd will be rocking. Jets win 23-20 and get revenge against the Pats.

Tyler Conklin Interview:
Jets tight end

  • PLAYING IN NYC: Has had fun this season. This Jets team is younger than the Vikings teams he played on.
  • BLOCKING/TIGHT ENDS: Has had to block more than usual this season. They have a dynamic tight end room. C.J. Uzomah is a fun guy and they have a good time going out and drinking when they can.
  • ZACH WILSON: They had some fun giving him some smack talk after the cougar story. He’s a good QB and is winning them games.
  • JETS-PATRIOTS: They know what it means to the Jets fans. If they are up big in the 4th quarter, they will keep spanking them.
