If you ask Steve McLendon what the issue was with the New York Jets last season, he’ll say: “The ball just didn’t fall in our court.” There weren’t any cancerous egos but there was a bad taste of losing in that locker room. That’s something he won’t forget. It’s also something that this current Jets roster…
When the New York Jets travel to Tampa Bay, Florida this weekend, they’ll be preparing to face off against a familiar foe. In the days leading up to Sunday’s game, Buccaneers Head Coach, Dirk Koetter, announced that franchise quarterback, Jameis Winston, would miss the next two weeks due to an arm injury. The Buccaneers will…
The Jets defense dominated the Buffalo Bills last week – sacking Tyrod Taylor seven times, hitting him 11 times and recovering three fumbles – on their way to a 34-21 victory. Demario Davis, Darron Lee, Muhammad Wilkerson, Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye and others all contributed to the domination, but it was Jordan Jenkins who claimed…
It felt like Throwback Thursday at MetLife Stadium. There was a vintage pass rush, ground-and-pound, and Fireman Ed was back leading around 80,000 raucous Jets fans in the classic J-E-T-S chant. If you asked me, this team and that performance resembled one that occurred when the organization went to back-to-back AFC Championship Games in 2009…
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – The Jets backfield committee rushed for over 190 yards and the New York Jets pulled out the 34-21 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.

There were bad snaps, missed field goals, slick fumbles, head-scratching penalties, rain and a whole lot of wind. The elements plus the events that transpired on the field proved to be the backbreaker for the New York…
FLORHAM PARK, NY – As the Jets come off another excruciating loss to Miami last week, their season that a few weeks ago looked like it would be a pleasant surprise is on the downswing again. Up next is the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons who are dealing with their own disappointing start and will…
You were smart to expect the Atlanta Falcons would have some sort of hangover after blowing a 25 point lead in last year’s Super Bowl. Most people believed that even with a high powered offense returning most of their stars, the team would struggle. So far, through three games and it’s been the offense that has…
Miami FL: For the second straight week, the New York Jets had a 14 point lead against a division rival. And for the second straight week, the Jets lost the game. The Miami Dolphins won their third straight game and split the season series against New York with their 31-28 victory. The Jets had built a…
Florham Park, NJ – Walking around the locker room on Friday was interesting. There was a distinguishable buzz. It was noticeably louder than usual. Yes, the standard occurred; Rontez Miles cracked jokes with a mixture of offensive linemen and defensive backs in one corner and Austin Seferian-Jenkins blasted music in his haven with Demario Davis next…
