FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—Ah, autumn in the AFC East, a period defined by traditions. Buffalo Bills fans’ folding tables are being lit and smashed, the focus of Miami Dolphins supporters has already shifted to the hardwood of the Heat, and the New England Patriots’ division championship t-shirts are already being printed.
Oh, and the New York Jets are 3-5.
For the third consecutive season, the Jets have posted a win percentage of .375 at the midway mark, currently reeling from back-to-back losses. Members of the team reflected on the familiar posting during conferences calls on Monday afternoon.
