The playoffs may have passed us by for yet another year, but hope springs for the New York Jets. It springs in the form of a 22-year-old gunslinger wearing the number 14. Through a series of impressive (and some not so) wins and losses, the Jets find themselves at 5-8.
Playoff contention was lost when Tennessee defeated the Colts on Sunday, but Jets fans need to step back and acknowledge the growth and fight which brought the lowly 1-7 Jets, with no hope whatsoever, to even being in talks of possible playoff contention come early December.
