Way back in the annals of history, the New York Jets actually won a playoff game.
For those old enough to remember, boy, was it sweet. It was January 16, 2011 — 13 years ago today.
Here’s the scene: in the 2010 playoffs, the 11-5 Jets, coming off a 17-16 Wild Card victory over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, head to New England to face their bullies in Foxborough. The Patriots drubbed them, 45-3, on national TV in their last meeting.
The Hoodie is going as strong as ever, while the Rex Ryan-led Jets are the upstarts after making it to the AFC Championship the previous season.
