Playoff Preview (Jets @ Bengals)

NY Jets @ Cincinnati (Sat. 4:30, NBC)
In the first of three rematches from Week 17, the venue changes to Paul Brown Stadium. In the biggest fight of words under 140 characters between Chad Ochocinco and Darrelle Revis on Twitter before last week's game, Ochocinco said he would change his last name back to Johnson if Revis shut him down. Revis did but Ochocinco claimed it was not enough because he did not play as much as he thought. But Ochocinco might have to be forced to live up to his bet with Revis because Revis is the best shutdown corner in the NFL. Carson Palmer will need to hit Laveranues Coles and Andre Caldwell to open up the passing game to succeed.
For the Jets, the run game must work for them to win and follow through on coach Rex Ryan's guarantee of making the Super Bowl, which is completely ridiculous. Mark Sanchez has shown all season that he has the inability to win games when the run has been shut down, even with the addition of Braylon Edwards. On the defensive side of the ball, David Harris and Bart Scott need to wreak havoc on the Bengals' O-Line in the pass rush and will also have to be able to cover Cedric Benson and Brian Leonard out of the backfield. Although they will not have the game handed to them this time, the Jets can pose a serious threat in the playoffs if everything goes well.
