“Meh, it’s only the Commanders.”
“Meh, it’s only the Giants.”
“Meh, it’s only practice.”
These dismissals were tossed around by naysayers after the New York Jets’ thorough beatdowns of the Commanders and Giants in joint practices.
New York’s second joint practice with the Carolina Panthers received mixed reviews (although they finished very strong), but it was unanimously agreed that New York completely steamrolled Washington and Big Blue. Overall, the Jets accumulated an impressive body of work across the three joint practices. They looked overwhelmingly better than the teams across from them. If it were three regular season games, it would be the equivalent of a 3-0 record with two blowout wins and one narrow win.
