The Jets are on quest to deliver the franchise — and its long-frustrated fans — a playoff berth for the first time since 2010.
Coming out of training camp, the Jets appeared to have much more talent than they've had in several seasons. But success seemed a year away, especially with such a young — but talented — roster.
New York has positioned itself now to make a second-half run at ending the NFL's longest postseason drought at 11 seasons. But Wilson said the Jets aren't entertaining the thought that if they continue doing what they've done, the playoffs are a possibility. “Not in that way,” the second-year quarterback said."Kind of the way you're saying it almost makes it sound like we didn't expect to be here, but, hey, wow, we are, so let's see if we can keep doing it.The formula for success has become clear for the Jets: a ground-and-pound running game, coupled with limiting mistakes by the quarterback — combined with an aggressive, opportunistic defense that ranks among the best in the league.
“It's been fun,” Saleh said. “The first half of the year, even the most optimistic Jets fan wouldn't have had us at 6-3. But at the same time, we've got a great opportunity coming up in the second half of the season. ... It doesn't mean anything if we don't attack the second half in the same exact manner.”The defensive line has been a positive all season.
