Philadelphia Eagles
vs.
New York Jets
The ticket prices were ridiculously cheap, at approximately $6 per ticket for lower level seats, plus an additional $9 for parking.
And so, I got some tickets for this game between the Eagles and the Jets.
Neither team was supposed to be especially good this year, although obviously, one team wound up being way better than anyone could have expected, going on and winning the first Super Bowl in franchise history!
Of course, the Jets actually exceeded expectations, as well. In fact, it was that other team that calls MetLife Stadium their home that wound up disappointing everyone's expectations for this season, finishing 3-13. But the Jets were supposed to be one of the very worst, if not the worst, team in the league. However, the Jets flirted with a winning record as the mid-season approached, and despite a late season collapse, most had not even expected the Jets to look as impressive as they did. They wound up finishing the season with a 5-11 mark.
It was not a super exciting game, and being the last preseason game, neither team put in their starters. Carson Wentz did not start for Philly, and they did not even have their eventual star of the playoffs, Nick Foles. Instead, the Eagles played Matt McGloin and Dane Evans, while the Jets had Josh McCown and Christian Hackenberg.
The end result was a 16-10 victory for the Jets, although I had no suspicion that this game would feature the team that would wind up winning the Super Bowl! Who could have known?
Forgot to post this back then, but thought it would be cool to post it now.
In the picture below, my son is pictured several times, and once, it is with his mom (my ex-wife), who decided to join us by purchasing tickets of her own, with them being so cheap.
