After outcry from the Jets and their Jewish fans, the NFL agreed to move the time of their September 27 game from 4:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. This way, fans will be able to get home before sundown and the start of Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. Some fans may be atoning for attending the September 20 afternoon game—which falls during Rosh Hashanah! The Giants are playing on the road during the two holidays, after the NFL agreed to Big Blue's request to avoid playing during Jewish holidays at home (the NY market has a lot of Jewish fans); the NFL, however, admitted it made a mistake scheduling the Jets to play at home even though the team requested otherwise. The 9/27 game time change means that the Jets' game against the Titans will be airing on TV against the Giants-Bucaneers game.
