Heading into Sunday’s home game against the woeful Titans, the Jets, contrary to popular belief, did not have any “trap games” slated for the final quarter of their season.
Teams in the Jets’ position, where any loss would practically eliminate them from postseason eligibility, don’t look past anyone.
For all intents and purposes, the Jets’ 30-8 beatdown of Tennessee was a playoff game.
For those in need of further explanation, the Jets DO NOT control their own destiny.
Oh, the current standings may show that the Jets own the sixth and final playoff seed with an 8-5 record, but that’s only because the Steelers have played one fewer conference game.
