For an opener, the Jets drew rave reviews.
The encore? Their defense believes a return home will bring even stronger performances against the Dolphins in Week 2.
“Our mission this week is to step it up,” cornerback Morris Claiborne said by his locker Thursday afternoon. “We’re not taking this game as something we’re going to be stuck on. We trying to be better than that game.”
Week 1 and the five interceptions that Jets defenders collected in a 48-17 rout at Detroit are now in the rear view. All eyes are looking toward Sunday’s game against their divisional rivals.
