The Jets are searching high and low for a way to beat the Patriots and they've even turned to the streets.

Gang Green literally plucked wide receiver Joe Anderson off of the streets and signed him to their practice squad Tuesday to add some depth at the position, according to ESPN.

The 6-foot-1, 196-pound receiver camped outside of the Texans' home of Reliant Stadium in Houston for six weeks campaigning for a job, but the opportunity never came.

Anderson, 27, posted a photo on Instagram of him holding up a sign outside of the stadium saying he would "run routes for food." The receiver insisted that the act, which went viral, wasn't a publicity stunt and he was just looking for his next opportunity to play in the NFL.

Though he didn't find an opportunity in Houston, Anderson practiced with the Jets on Tuesday and will look to continue his journey to getting back on the gridiron as a mainstay. Anderson's sign said that he is, "Not homeless ... but STARVING for success."

The wideout went undrafted out of Texas Southern, but was picked up by the Bears in 2012, where he played with current Jets receiver Brandon Marshall. Anderson spent nine games, mostly on special teams, with Chicago for parts of two seasons until an abdominal and groin injury landed him on the injured reserve in 2013 and he was eventually waived.

After latching on with the Eagles in 2014 and spending some time in the CFL, Anderson went jobless in 2015 until getting picked up by the Jets. New York hosts New England in Week 16, looking for any edge over a franchise they are 52-57-1 against lifetime.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have had Gang Green's number and have won three straight games against them, including a 30-23 victory over Todd Bowles' bunch on Oct. 23 that saw a late collapse by the Jets. The Patriots have taken eight of the last 10 meetings overall against their AFC East rivals.

New England (12-2) won the AFC East for the seventh straight season, but still has plenty to play for Sunday as it is in a battle with Cincinnati (11-3) for home-field advantage in the playoffs. New York (9-5) doesn't control its own fate and is looking to surpass Kansas City (9-5) and Pittsburgh (9-5) in the wild-card race, while Denver (10-4) could also play a role in its postseason fate.

The Jets are so desperate for a win, they've literally turned to the streets to try and improve in practice.
