Miami Gardens, FL: Nearly one month ago, the Jets opened their home slate at 0-2 with a bruised ego against the Miami Dolphins. Their opponent that September afternoon was picked by some to repeat their success of a season ago and beat New York down in all facets. That wasn’t the case. The Jets dominated and…
How could a team “devoid of talent” play competitive football every week for the majority of a game? How could the “worst constructed roster in a decade” match up head-to-head with the some of the deepest lineups in the league? It’s simple. This is the NFL.

It’s gut check time. If the Jets are truly the surprise team of the league this season, it’s time to prove it. Through five games, they’ve passed their junior varsity portion of their schedule.
