The NY Jets picked up their second home win against the Chiefs in three weeks on Sunday.
Between those two wins, the Jets won at home against Miami, blew a big lead and lost against Washington, so things may be a little messy, but a win is a win.
The Jets have now won six games this season. Six wins may be less than many expected, but the football gods had other plans for Ganggreen.
The Jets travel to Cleveland this week to take on the 10-5 Browns in a Thursday night game.
The Browns qualified for the playoffs. Cleveland has won three games in a row and boasts the best defense in the league.
An elite defense and strong running game weren’t enough to consider the Browns a threat for the AFC crown.
The return of Joe Flacco changed that. Flacco gave the Browns a capable blitz and a true passing game.
Cleveland didn’t need much on the roster, and Flacco did enough to make the Browns relevant in the conference.
The Jets will present Joe Flacco with his toughest challenge yet. The Jets’ third down defense is vastly superior to the defense Flacco has faced since returning.
The Jets are particularly stingy with passing yards. Joi tells us the Browns will be able to broadcast against the type of competition Cleveland will face in January.As the odds (7.5) indicate, the Jets are scheduled to meet this week.
Cleveland should be able to dominate the Jets offensive line and shut down the Jets offense.
New York needs to somehow win the turnover battle and create a short field for their offense.
Flacco has thrown seven interceptions in four games. He doesn’t move and can be pressured into making mistakes.
The bottom line is that there’s no way to tell if the Jets will generate enough offense to win.
Cleveland leads the game, marking the Jets’ 10th loss of the year. Cleveland 26 New York Jets 9Share even:
