For the first time in seven years, we can say it: The New York Jets are gearing up for a playoff push.
After pulling off an upset victory over the Buffalo Billls, the Jets entered the bye week with an impressive record of 6-3, tying them for third-best in the conference while placing them in the AFC’s fifth seed. It officially puts New York squarely in the AFC playoff race for the second half of the season.
Not only did the win help New York in the standings, but it also provided a massive improvement to their stock as a true playoff contender.
