A  Jets spokesman denied a report that said 12,000 tickets for Monday night's game against Houston still were unsold as of Friday.

Michael Lombardi dropped that little nugget on NFL Network's "First on the Field," but the team quickly denied the statement.

The Jets spokesman said all of their home games will be televised locally -- though the team won't give any concrete numbers when it comes to ticket sales.
