Lichtenstein: Jets Somehow Persevered, Despite Awful First 3 Quarters

» More Columns

The Jets should have been on the naughty list.

Gang Green did so many bad things over the first three-plus quarters of Sunday’s crucial contest against the Giants, they had no business expecting a present on the first night of Chanukah.

Excuse me for mixing religious metaphors, but my head is still spinning after the Jets’ improbable comeback victory over their co-tenants.

This one clearly came out of the Big Blue. I know the Giants had been gifting out wins to opposing teams left and right all season as if every weekend has been Christmas Eve, but these were the Jets — a team that hadn’t had a fourth-quarter comeback all season.
