NFL PREVIEW Tonight's game

NEW YORK JETS at ATLANTA
Time: 9 p.m.
TV/radio: (33) (5) (4); WBBW-AM (1240).
Key matchup: New York offensive line vs. Atlanta defensive line. Loss of center Kevin Mawae is huge blow to Jets. Not only has offensive line been shaky, giving up 21 sacks in six games, including five to Buffalo, Mawae is emotional leader of line and makes all line calls. Jets have already had to juggle OL this season, switching Jason Fabini to right tackle and Adrian Jones to left. Left guard Pete Kendall will be choice for long haul at center. Jets RB Curtis Martin led New York with season-high 148 yards rushing last week. Falcons are allowing 133.5 yards per game on ground, a significant increase over last season's average (105.1). D-line can't expect help from injury-plagued linebacker corps. Rod Coleman leads NFL defensive tackles with six sacks.
