The Jets do not control their own postseason destiny.
Knowing that, Todd Bowles has one goal in mind for his team over its final three regular season games.
“We definitely have to win out,” the coach said Thursday. “And that still may not be good enough.”
The Jets play the Cowboys, Patriots and Bills, in that order, in the final three weeks of the season. Victories in all three games would give Gang Green 11 wins on the year, just their second such season since 1999. But that would not guarantee them a spot in the playoffs.
