The Jets fell to the Vikings 37-17 on Sunday, ending their two-game winning streak and dropping them back below .500. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:
1. The Jets faced another big-time opponent and came up small. They showed again they are not quite ready to play with the NFL’s big boys. It has been a long time since the Jets notched what you would call a “signature win.” I would go back to 2015 and the win at home over the Patriots. Since then, they have beaten a few good teams but no one that made you sit up and think the Jets had arrived as a playoff contender.
