Instead of the Khan moustaches, they could give out Fisher unibrows or mullets at the stadium.

On some level, I think Fox is trolling us, but I am left to wonder why Fox would even have this game.

As a general rule, CBS broadcasts the AFC games while NFC games are broadcast by Fox.  In the case of inter conference games, if the AFC team hosts, Fox typically broadcasts the games and if the NFL team hosts, CBS typically broadcasts.  This has historically been done to allow networks to broadcast teams they otherwise rarely would.

This is not an inter conference game.  This is a game between to AFC teams.

It is my understanding that Fox was awarded broadcast rights to Thursday night games.  However, this is a Sunday game.

Within the last couple of years, flex games have been awarded to networks late in the season based on any number of criteria.

This Jaguars-Jets matchup is an early to mid season game.

Why is Fox broadcasting this game?

They really screwed this up last season. The rule about the interconference games was thrown out apparently. It was a mess about time for the games against the nfc west. Many ticked off tack fans got to watch em cowboys instead. 
You jag fans ever deal with that? Or does your region actually have some loyalty, even if your team is in last place?
