EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Football is a funny game. One week, a sole individual is the goat. (No kids, this goat doesn’t equate to “greatest of all-time.”) The following week, he’s flying high, showcased all over the internet thanks to a phenomenal outing or clutch play that lifted his squad.
The week-to-week nature of the brings out the worst and best in professional football players. From catching glimpses of ghosts to tearing up the New York Giants and Washington Redskins, the California kid understands the nature of the beast.
It’s why, although the New York Jets currently sit at 3-7, the overall record can never serve as a priority.
