Bright Spot

At least the new @starwars trailer is coming out at halftime. It’s the lone bright spot in this abysmal performance by the @nyjets tonight #TakeFlight #MondayNightFootball #smh pic.twitter.com/7CsBoLDq9M

Absolutely Painful

I’m watching the Jets-Patriots game just so I can see the new Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker trailer.

It’s absolutely painful.

This trailer better be worth it!#StarWars #RiseofSkywalker #JETSvsPATS

Cruel and Unusual

I feel so bad for all the Star Wars fans who sat through part of Patriots-Jets to see a trailer. That’s just cruel and unusual punishment.

Give Us Halftime

At this point, I’m only watching the @nyjets vs @Patriots for the halftime @starwars movie trailer :/

Conspiracy

I wonder if @Disney intentionally held the @starwars trailer an extra week because it knew that would be the only way to keep people watching this @patriots–@nyjets MNF game through halftime? #StarWars #RiseofSkywalker
