New England Patriots vs New York Jets Live Stream: Watch NFL 2014 Football Online (CBS TV Preview)
The New England Patriots will play the New York Jets on Sunday as the Patriots look to secure the top seed spot in the AFC. The Jets finally managed to win their third game of the season last week, but whether they will have it in them to stun one of the Super Bowl favorites in today's game remains to be seen. The game will start at 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS network. The game takes place from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and can be watched online through live stream (details below).
The Patriots have already secured the AFC East title, and the Jets have already secured the bottom spot in the division. Many fans were unhappy at the Jets last week for finally winning a game, as it meant they dropped many places down the rankings for the first pick in next season's draft.
However, Jets players and staff were adamant that they would never go into any game to intentionally lose and that they were ecstatic with the win. They would be even more happy this week if they could claim a win against division rivals, the New England Patriots.

Coming into Sunday's games the NFL Playoffs picture is still not fully firmed up. In the AFC division the New England Patriots currently have the number 1 seed spot with their 11-3 position. If they can hold on to that position until the end of the month then they will secure themselves home field advantage through the Playoffs.
But things are still uncertain, with the Denver Broncos also on 11-3 and in the second seed position.
The 10-4 Indianapolis Colts are the current third seeds and last week secured their division title. The Cincinnati Bengals are 9-4-1 and are currently in the 4th seed position but their place in the Playoffs is far from secure at the moment - they still have not confirmed their division title, and with the AFC North still very open with three teams still fighting for the title, the Bengals likely will have to win their final two games to secure their division and a top four seeding.
Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are on 9-5 and occupy the 5th and 6th seed positions coming into the weekend.
There are still a host of teams in the hunt for one of the Wild Card spots, including the 9-6 San Diego Chargers, the 8-6 Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, and all three of the Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are on 7-7.
The NFC looks a little more certain with only 9 teams remaining in the Playoff hunt. The 11-3 Arizona Cardinals have the number 1 seed spot coming into the weekend, but they still can be caught by the Detroit Lions, who are in the number 2 seed spot with 10-4. Both the Cardinals and Lions have secured their Playoff berths already, but who will get home field advantage through the Playoffs is still up in the air.
None of the other postseason spots in the NFC have been confirmed yet. The 10-4 Dallas Cowboys now look almost certain to clinch the NFC East and with it a likely 3rd seed placing. The 9-6 Philadelphia Eagles have collapsed with three straight losses - their most recent a horrible defeat to the lowly Washington Redskins. That means if the Cowboys win today then they will clinch the division title.
The New Orleans Saints are 6-8 but are in the 4th seed spot coming into the weekend, where as the 10-4 Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers occupy the 5th and 6th seed spots respectively.
Although the Eagles are in the 7th seed spot, the chances of them catching the Cowboys are now very slim - they will need Dallas to lose both of their final games and to snap their own losing streak next week.
The 5-8-1 Carolina Panthers and 5-9 Atlanta Falcons are both still in the Playoffs race and will hope to overturn the Saints to claim the 4th seed spot, but again their destiny is not in their own hands.
