The most frustrating thing about the Jets is how close they are

This is why the Jets are the most maddening team of all: They’re just good enough.

Just good enough to tease their tortured fans, coaxing them into an occasional state of euphoria, then leaving them in a state of perpetual anger and frustration.

Just good enough Saturday night at MetLife Stadium to lose a game they should have won, respectable enough to give the Texans (10-4) a game before succumbing, 29-22.

Just good enough to take a 22-19 lead with five minutes remaining only to allow the Texans to march 75 yards on seven plays and win on a Deshaun Watson 14-yard scoring pass to star receiver DeAndre Hopkins (10 catches, 170 yards, two TDs) with 2:15 left.
