After a demoralizing loss to their fierce rival, the New England Patriots, the Jets did not yell, they did not pout, they surely didn’t bury any footballs. Instead, Todd Bowles’ Jets took a very pragmatic approach, as they would with any loss coming at week 7 of the season.
They have many reasons to use this approach, for starters, it is the approach they took coming into the game, they also have a talented team that has a serious shot at a postseason birth, overreacting should not be part of the winning formula. But perhaps the most encouraging sign for the Jets is their upcoming schedule where they only face one team in the top 12 of ESPN’s latest power rankings: you guessed it, those pesky Patriots.
