When the Jets travel to Southern California to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, it will be the start of a string of three games on the West Coast in a five-week span.
After facing the Chargers and rookie QB Justin Herbert, the Jets will host Miami (Nov. 29) and then Las Vegas (Dec. 6) before games at Seattle (Dec. 13) and at the Los Angeles Rams (Dec. 20).
In 2020, the Jets are slated to travel 17,246 miles, 12th-most among NFL teams. The Seahawks are No. 1, traveling 29,982. The Jets are fourth among the other AFC East teams, behind Miami (21,183), Buffalo (20,066) and New England (19,266). Under the NFL's opponents rotation schedule, the division plays teams in the AFC and NFC West this season.
In 2019, the Jets (6,730) were the only team in the league to travel fewer than 8,000 miles during the course of the regular season. By contrast, the Raiders (who were still in Oakland) logged the most, 32,023 miles. The top five teams (Raiders, Rams, Chargers, Seahawks and 49ers) in terms of travel miles all call the West Coast home.
Thanks to my colleague Randy Lange for passing along some facts and figures about the Jets' past forays to the West Coast. ...
Of the three teams the Jets are scheduled to play this season, they are 6-13 vs. the Chargers (San Diego/LA) since their first meeting in 1960; 3-5 vs. the Seahawks since their first meeting in 1979; and 1-3 vs. the Rams since their first meeting in 1970.
