Offense
The Jets’ offense won’t have you winning shootouts, but it works well in combination with their aggressive defense. If you can grab a lead, it will put too much pressure on your opponent. The offensive line is an underrated area in Draft Champions. Not many players love selecting the big guys up front — until they get into a game and control the line of scrimmage, resulting in a win.
Key Formation
Singleback Wing Trips is just one example of the Jets’ new spread-style offensive playbook. Approach it as a run-first set before looking to the quick pass.

Defense
The Jets have one of the most aggressive blitzing playbooks in all of Madden NFL 16. Take advantage of these plays on third and long to generate sacks and even some turnovers!
Key Formation
Rely on the 3-4 Solid early in games to shut down the run. Be sure to pass-commit if you think your opponent is going to call play action, and try a play like Trio Sky Zone.
