It's Super Bowl XLVIII, outdoors in the winter chill of New Jersey here at MetLife Stadium, the home of both the Jets and Giants, it's the New England Patriots representing the AFC, and the New York Giants, the NFC Champions....I'm Joe Buck.
Prepare yourself now, Jets fans. This will happen.
Why?
Because it's the most nightmarish scenario possible for the Jets - a Super Bowl at their shared stadium between their back page and division rivals, both hated to different degrees by most fans.
------
Can't you imagine it now?
Tom Brady is having one of the greatest games in Super Bowl history but Eli Manning gets the ball again, with a chance to stifle the Patriots' title dreams once again with 1:39 left.
Settle in...
It's all down to this for the Giants...4th and 14...Manning pressured and moving right, heaved across the middle, off the hands of McCourty and - caught - by Jerrel Jernigan, seemingly coming out of nowhere.
Jerrel Jernigan? He was on the 2013 Giants?
Here we go again...
Manning to Cruz, finding daylight through the middle of the Patriots' defense, TOUCHDOWN, Giants lead Super Bowl XLVIII.
You're not going to win either way as a Jets fan.
Brady is SACKED, as time runs out on the Patriots and the Giants will defeat New England again, Super Bowl champions in their own stadium.
Disaster for the Jets, as the Giants get to celebrate in front of a crowd of many of their own fans at home. Eli Manning wins another Super Bowl, the Giants' third this decade, in a season in which the Jets continue to be called a circus after Mark Sanchez starts all 16 games and finishes with the worst quarterback rating in the league.
Does it sound all that unbelievable, Jets fans?
Come back a year from now and see if you're not left shaking your head.
