Who plays on ‘Sunday Night Football’ tonight? Time, TV channel, schedule for NFL Week 4 game

Spooky season is upon us, and nothing is scarier than watching Zach Wilson throw a football.

LIVE: Updates, highlights from Chiefs vs. Jets on ‘Sunday Night Football’

The New York Jets are sorely missing Aaron Rodgers, who tore an Achilles just four snaps into his debut with his new squad. In his stead, they’ve turned back to 2021 No. 2 overall pick Wilson, who has looked like, well, Zach Wilson.

In a matchup that couldn’t come at a worse time for New York, the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs travel to MetLife to face the ailing Jets. Kansas City is coming off a Kansas City-like performance in Week 3, blowing out the Bears to the tune of 41-10.

The Jets may need to rely on their defense to hold KC’s Patrick Mahomes-led offense in check. If not, it could be a swift path to 1-5 before their bye week.
