The Jets aren’t dead — but they have little margin for error
NY Post
It is horror movie season, so it is only appropriate that the Jets came back to life on Thursday night like Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger.
Just when you though they were dead …
It was only one victory for the Jets, but the 21-13 defeat of the Texans on Thursday keeps the heartbeat of their season alive. It felt close to over with Sunday’s loss in New England. Their record is still a dismal 3-6, but there is now a glimmer of hope that would not have existed had they lost Thursday.
There has been a lot of talk about the Jets being in the darkness. A little light is now visible.
“When you play like that I think it generates some confidence,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said, “and it generates some momentum, so both those things are going to be integral, and going forward there was some hope too, prior to that second half, so sometimes when you put it together it creates some ‘we can really get this done,’ so it’s something that I really believe will carry us forward here.”
The Jets now enter the easier portion of their schedule after a rough first two months. They only have one team on their remaining schedule that is above .500 — the Bills. But it goes beyond just the quality of the opponent. The Jets schedule has been a gauntlet in the early part of the season with nine games in 53 days. They have had two Monday night games, two Thursday night games, one Sunday night game, a trip to London, a trip to the West Coast and two road games following Monday night games.
