Fate is at work, said Calvin Pace.
Long before a five-game winning streak put the Jets on the doorstep of postseason play, he and his teammates believed they were on the verge of redefining themselves and their organization. The results of the past month are not at all a surprise to the Jets, but merely confirmation of what they believed way back in September: They’ve been a playoff-caliber team all along.
“I think it’s meant to happen. I do,” said Pace, now in his eighth season with the Jets and on the cusp of making the postseason for the first time since 2010.
