The AFC East already could be getting away from the New York Jets.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this, not with Tom Brady serving his Roger Goodell suspension, but the Jets need a win Sunday to stay one game behind the first-place New England Patriots (3-0). It's only Week 3, too soon to make any definitive statements, but the Jets (1-1) would be teetering on the brink if they fall two games behind. Their upcoming schedule is brutal and that Brady guy is returning in Week 5.
So, yeah, the Jets really need to beat the Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) at Arrowhead Stadium.
