Lichtenstein: Mishandling Adversity, Not Prosperity, Fueled Jets’ Loss To Eagles

I’m already dreading the headlines.

“Same Old Jets”

That’s the easy route the media will likely take after the Jets’ 24-17 home loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

The other talking point will be that the Jets fell for a “trap game.” You know, because the result served as both the Jets’ first defeat and the Eagles’ first victory of the three-week season.

Except that it was hardly unforeseen.

The Eagles may have looked disorganized in losing their first two games, but they’re a talented group that can give slower-paced teams like the Jets fits.
