Chiefs vs. Jets: A revenge game for Darrelle Revis
By David Thomas
Darrelle Revis vs. Jermaine Kearse
After signing with the Chiefs on November 22nd, Revis will get his first game action against his old team the New York Jets. Revis will most likely start at the right cornerback spot opposite Marcus Peters. It will certainly be interesting to see who they pair up with Revis.
The Jets best WR Robby Anderson was with the Jets last season when Revis was still on the team. Their other starting receiver Jermaine Kearse has not done particularly well against teams starting Revis. In 3 career games against Revis, Kearse has 6 catches for 68 yards.
Teams typically like to pair up their best receiver against our right corner, because Marcus Peters sticks to the left side. If Revis is able to look more like his 2015 self than 2016, then it really leaves no good option for the Jets.
Kearse may end up playing more inside against Steven Nelson, especially in three-receiver sets. That means Revis may end up seeing a lot of Chad Hansen who has just 3 catches for 33 yards on the season.
