Bowles: Jets’ Playoff Hopes In The Hands Of The ‘Football Gods’

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Two more wins — and the New York Jets still might not be in.

That’s the reality Todd Bowles and his players are facing, knowing they have no control over their postseason destiny.

“If the football gods deem that we’re worthy, and somehow we win these last two games, maybe we will, maybe we won’t (get into the playoffs),” Bowles said Monday. “But you can’t worry about it because you can’t control it.”

It’s still possible that the Jets (9-5) could end the season on a six-game winning streak — which would mean victories over New England and Buffalo — and miss the postseason.
