Ranking the NY Jets’ five biggest X-factors down the stretch

New York Jets fans are all talked out about 6-3: They’re thinking playoffs.

Yes, those playoffs that the Jets haven’t sniffed in seven seasons and haven’t made in 11. If the season ended today, the Jets would be the No. 5 seed in the AFC and head into Baltimore for a rematch with the Ravens in the Wild Card Round. That’s a tough matchup.

However, the division is in sight. If the Jets win against the Patriots, they’ll be 7-3 and in first place via the tiebreaker over Miami and Buffalo, no matter what the Bills do against the Browns.
