Won first 2 by 20+ points, including putting a beatdown on the Ravens in their own house.
Lost the 3rd by 3 points, coming off a huge emotional win and facing a team that had gotten humiliated the week before.
This is the NFL...it happens. Good teams can have letdowns after huge wins. The Jets also beat the Titans, who are now 6-2.
Last week was an outstanding win. This week was an embarrassing loss. Overall, they are still in good shape at 5-3...which I think is better than most of probably thought before the season started.
Beating the Browns next week is a must now though, so that they can go into the bye 6-3 and stay in contention for the division title. Still a lot of football left, and the fact is, they are 5-3 and haven't even played their best football yet. Still a lot of room to get better and areas to improve on. IMO, that's a good sign and a reason to remain very optimistic going forward.
IDK, maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age and not being as cynical as I used to be.
Yep. The loss today means they need to beat the Browns if they want to hold on to serious aspirations for a playoff birth.
