of the 1968 New York Jets Womens Troy Hill Jersey , celebrating the 50th anniversary of the squad that won the franchise's only Super Bowl.Nostalgia will be all around MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with rookie Sam Darnold and this year's Jets team trying to set a much more modest goal against the Indianapolis Colts — not coincidentally, the franchise New York beat for that 1969 title while it was in Baltimore.Coming off an impressive 34-16 victory over Denver last Sunday and with the likes of Joe Namath and Don Maynard watching, New York will look to win consecutive games for the first time since taking three straight in Weeks 3-5 last season — over a year ago."We've got a good team," Darnold said. "It's just about putting together the pieces. Obviously, we put some together this past Sunday. We've just got to build off of it and, for me personally, I've just got to stay consistent."The Jets (2-3) have struggled with that . They opened the season with a 48-17 romp at Denver and then had clunkers against Miami, Cleveland and Jacksonville before getting back in the win column last weekend."We have to grow up and find a way to string games together and get on winning streaks," left tackle Kelvin Beachum said, "instead of losing streaks."That's what Andrew Luck and the struggling Colts (1-4) will be looking to stop when they take the field.Indianapolis has lost three in a row, is missing some key players such as wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle to injuries, and could see its season really spiral with another defeat. The Colts, however, aren't thinking about that right now."I love that this team has no quit," tight end Eric Ebron said. "I love the story that we'll have and I say that because we're very young, we're all beat up, and what people don't tend to realize is that you don't stay beat up forever. You get healthy, you get guys back and then you start to establish a dominance."The Jets just want to prevent that turnaround from starting Sunday."We know our defense has their hands full, but it's also going to be a dogfight for us too, because they have a great defense," Darnold said. "We're really looking forward to the challenge, though, knowing how great of a quarterback Andrew is."Here are other things to know as the Colts and Jets square off:BIG DEALThis will mark the first time the teams face each other since swinging their stunning trade in March that changed the top of the NFL draft.The Jets acquired the No. 3 overall pick from the Colts to move up to take Darnold, giving them the franchise-type quarterback they have been searching for .New York sent Indianapolis the No. 6 selection, which the Colts used to pick current starting left guard Quenton Nelson. The Jets also shipped two second-round picks this year — one with which Indianapolis took starting right guard Braden Smith; the other was used in a trade — along with a second-rounder next year.FLYING CROWELLJets running back Isaiah Crowell leads the AFC with 390 yards rushing, and ranks third in the NFL behind only Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott (480) and Rams' Todd Gurley (415).Crowell soared up the list against Denver last Sunday when he set a franchise record with 219 yards rushing on just 15 carries. It also put the controversy from the previous weeks far behind him after he was fined $13,369 by the NFL and scolded by coach Todd Bowles for wiping his rear end with the football after scoring a touchdown at Cleveland in Week 3.LOTS OF LUCKLuck has thrown 121 passes in his last two games and leads the league with 245 attempts through five games .Not bad for a guy who missed all last season with a shoulder injury Robert Woods Jersey , but the Colts might not want to keep their franchise QB back there throwing so much. After all, he's on pace to throw 784 times this season, which would shatter Matthew Stafford's single-season record of 727 for Detroit in 2012.Colts coach Frank Reich attributes the high number to his team falling behind early in games, causing Luck and the offense to play catch-up through the air.SLAUSON DONEColts right guard Matt Slauson got his NFL start with the Jets in 2009, but this weekend's reunion plan has changed because of a back injury.Slauson landed on season-ending injured reserve earlier this week after doctors diagnosed him with two broken vertebrae. Without Slauson, Smith could make his second straight start — this time at his more natural position. The rookie started last week at right tackle.DEFENSIVE STRIDESIndianapolis' defense has made steady a progression under first-year coordinator Matt Eberflus. While the Colts are tied for third in the league with 17 sacks and have moved out of the bottom quadrant in yards allowed, they're No. 23 in total defense.Individually, there are more promising signs.Rookie linebacker Darius Leonard leads the league with 54 tackles, even after missing last week's game with a hamstring injury. Defensive end Margus Hunt leads the NFL with nine tackles for loss.AP Sports Writer Michael Marot contributed.

Rookies and undrafted rookies are also noted in parentheses.Previous projectionsApril 29, post-2019 NFL DraftQB (2)In: Jared Goff, Blake BortlesOut: Brandon Allen, John WolfordChanges from last projection: N/ANo change for me here even with Wolford making the play of organized team activities with his spectacular one-handed catch in OTA #7.The real intrigue is how things shape up for 2020 and beyond. With Goff’s contract extension a focus point of the 2019 season, there are two interesting tangents alongside it. For one, the Collective Bargaining Agreement expires along with Goff’s current rookie deal at the end of the 2020 NFL football year in March 2021. But second is that the Rams don’t have any quarterbacks other than Goff under contract beyond 2019. Bortles, Allen and Wolford are all scheduled to be free agents next offseason. Is there anything they could do over the next six-and-a-half months to change that?RB (4)In: Todd Gurley, Darrell Henderson (rookie), Malcolm Brown, John KellyOut: Justin Davis, Matt Colburn (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AThe Gurley/Henderson nexus will obviously be the draw here http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-whitworth-jersey , but I’m intrigued by the rest of the depth chart. Brown’s been very good in support of Gurley as the RB2 the last two seasons. Will he continue to get the same number of carries with Hendo in the mix? And does John Kelly still offer anything as a running back, or has he now been assigned to special teams duties alone?WR (6)In: Brandin Cooks,Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Josh Reynolds, KhaDarel Hodge, JoJo NatsonOut: Mike Thomas, Austin Proehl, Alex Bachman (UDFA), Nsimba Webster (UDFA), WR Johnathan Lloyd (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AWhat’s fascinating here is that the top of the depth chart is locked in, so the Rams can be more creative thereafter as they were with Hodge and Natson in 2018.TE/FB (3)In: Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee, Keenen Brown (UDFA)Out: Johnny Mundt, Romello Brooker (UDFA), Kendall Blanton (UDFA)Changes from last projection: N/AThis might be the most motivated group on the team.Higbee’s in a contract year. There’s already some budding noise behind a breakout year for Everett, though I would guess some of that is borne more out of demand than evaluation. And the other four are fighting for a job.Heed the words of everyone’s favorite early-19th century prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli.Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.OL (9)In: Andrew Whitworth, Rob Havenstein, Joseph Noteboom, Brian Allen, Austin Blythe, Bobby Evans (rookie), David Edwards (rookie), Jamil Demby, Aaron NearyOut: Jeremiah Kolone, Chandler Brewer (UDFA), Vitas Hrynkiewicz (UDFA) Womens John Johnson Jersey , Brandon Hitner (UDFA), Matt Kaskey (UDFA)No longer on roster: Darrell WilliamsChanges from last projection: Neary IN, Williams OUTThis is one where the practice squad could have a major effect. The Rams drafted Demby last year, but he landed on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad before coming home in December. I could see that kind of path for a bunch of the candidates I’ve got on the outs...or even for Demby himself.DL (5)In: Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, Sebastian Joseph-Day, John Franklin-Myers, Greg Gaines (rookie)Out: Tanzel Smart, Tyrell Thompson (UDFA), Bryant Jones (UDFA), Marquise Copeland (UDFA), Boogie Roberts (UDFA)I don’t have a good feel here since the roles are so loosely defined. Plenty for Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips, Defensive Line Coach Eric Henderson and Assistant Defensive Line Coach Thad Bogardus to sort through, though there’s also going to be interest from Special Teams Coordinator John Fassel with this group.LB (9)In: Clay Matthews, Micah Kiser, Cory Littleton, Samson Ebukam, Dante Fowler, Jr., Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Morgan Fox, Dakota Allen (rookie), Bryce HagerOut: Justin Lawler, Trevon Young, Troy Reeder (UDFA), Natrez Patrick (UDFA), Josh Carraway, Landis Durham (UDFA)Changes from last projection: Hager IN Josh Reynolds Jersey , Patrick OUTThis might be the group with the most to earn throughout camp and the preseason.Kiser likely steps into the spot vacated by Mark Barron, though Matthews’ usage is yet to be defined at least in terms of how it might affect a Kiser-Littleton primary ILB duo. And while Fowler’s likely locked in as a starter on the edge, I’m not sure that’s the case for Ebukam. Okoronkwo missed all of last year’s run-up after breaking his foot during OTAs, and Fox tore his ACL around the same time. So those two will certainly be keen to prove themselves this time around while Allen’s Last Chance U fame will certainly make him a fan favorite.CB (6)In: Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Nickell Robey-Coleman, David Long (rookie), Troy Hill, Dominique HatfieldOut: Kevin Peterson, Darious Williams, Donte Deayon, Ramon RichardsChanges from last projection: N/AThis might be one of the groups I’m most confident with in terms of projection, though keep Peterson in mind. He tore his ACL in the first preseason game last year which derailed what might have been a promising sophomore season after getting some key playing time in 2017 including one start.S (6)In: John Johnson III, Eric Weddle, Taylor Rapp (rookie), Marqui Christian, Nick Scott (rookie), Travin HowardOut: Steven ParkerNo longer on roster: Blake CountessChanges from last projection: Howard IN, Countess OUTCountess’ departure opens a huge door here. I’ll tab Howard, but it might be a chance for the Rams to beef up somewhere else for special teams help.ST (3)In: Greg Zuerlein, Johnny Hekker, Jake McQuaideOut: N/AHMZ back in the saddle.One thing we haven’t spent much time considering is the fact that Zuerlein is in a contract year.Time to re-up Legatron?So three changes due to the transactions in the last month. More obviously to come, but this will be the last projection until we get to camp.Let’s get through the next month or so, and then we’ll play this game again.
