The New York Jets are in control of their playoff fate if a result goes their way. That would be a big deal for a team that has not made the playoffs in 11 years.
It's not about the playoffs. It's about getting off the mat. There was a rough December for us. We got a new month. We get off the mat and ready to fight.
Last weekend, the Jets' fading playoff hopes were revived. The stakes for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks were raised when they got a few breaks.
If the Dolphins beat the Pats in the afternoon. The Jets would earn a wild card if they beat the Dolphins and the Seahawks.
The Jets haven't been in this situation since 2015, when they needed a win to get into the playoffs. They were favored by three points and lost to the Bills.
He won't be watching the game, but he will know the result.
He said it doesn't matter unless we take care of ours.
If we don't come back with a victory, there won't be anything tomorrow.
That is correct. It would be the longest playoff streak in the history of the Jets if they lost. It is the longest active slump in the league.
The Jets are getting close to this week as if they have a second chance. They had a 5% chance of making the playoffs after their loss to the Jags. Both the Dolphins and the Pats lost.
"It almost felt like a sign, a second chance almost, maybe a little extra life breathing in the locker room," said quarterback Mike White, who returned to the lineup after missing two games with fractured ribs.
The Jets jumped to a 6-3 record after upsetting the Bills at home. They have lost five of their last six games. The offense has gone cold. The Jets haven't scored a lot of points in their five losses because of a lack of a rushing attack.
The man focused on the positives.
He said that they have made nice strides this year. We would like to finish it. We have to look after this one. We feel like we're on the right path.
