It was just 11 days earlier that Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson felt the need to publicly state he was not firing coach Adam Gase in an effort to quiet the noise around his team. Now, Johnson watched Gase push all the right buttons as his team delivered its most complete performance in recent memory.
Gase and Co. blew out the Raiders 34-3 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, a statement that this team has indeed turned the corner from its struggles in September and October. Those wins over the dismal Giants and Redskins? They were not a mirage.
