The New York Jets have turned things around over the past two weeks, and are now primed for a strong December run to the playoffs.
Once upon a time, the New York Jets were on their way to another irrelevant finish. They had lost four out of five games, and were sitting at 5-5. But what a difference in two weeks for Todd Bowles’ bunch. The New York Jets have won two straight, including a thrilling come from behind win in overtime over the New York Giants last week. Now they sit at 7-5, and hold the second Wild Card position in the AFC, sixth overall.
