Jets not getting caught up in hype for Patriots game
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Todd Bowles' unemotional approach is present even when he isn't.
On Monday, the Jets' expansive locker room resembled a ghost town. But the four players who did speak -- Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eric Decker, Willie Colon and Breno Giacomini -- echoed their coach's "it's just another game'' refrain. And each one refused to feed into the "Patriots week'' hype.
"I think that's the way you guys look at it, personally,'' Giacomini said. "Every week's a test for us on Sunday. Right now we're 4-1, so we're doing pretty good.''
Bowles stressed the importance of winning division games, but noted: "Winning this game is not going to make us. Losing this game is not going to break us.''
