It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and the New York Jets are beginning to look a lot like a true playoff contender.
This game was about much more than the Snoopy Bowl. With the Jets' 23-20 overtime thriller of a win over the New York Giants, they inched closer to the playoffs and are threatening to end a four-year postseason drought in Todd Bowles' first year as head coach.
Their approach over the past two games has not exactly been conventional—at least not by their own standards. The Jets have taken to the air with regularity that's rarely been beneficial when Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback of a team, but it's worked in their favor.
