On Saturday I started searching the internet for a single report of someone picking the Jets to win. I couldn’t find one. This is partly due to my searching skills and lack of commitment to the mission, but then again why would anyone have picked the winless Jets to beat the Rams? To travel across the country and to upend the NFL’s best defense with the NFL’s worst offense? And also the NFL’s worst defense.
Picking New York to win would not have been reasonable or logical. Then reason and logic failed to show up on Sunday, which is an outcome we should always be considering as possible, even when it seems impossible.
