FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- As he walked off the field, an excited Robert Saleh jumped into arms of general manager Joe Douglas. A former offensive lineman, the burly GM lifted the coach a couple of feet off the ground and held him there for a few seconds. It was quite a moment for the New York Jets' leaders.
This was a highpoint for the Saleh-Douglas regime. It was Oct. 15, and the Jets -- without star injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers (torn left Achilles) or their starting cornerbacks -- had just stunned the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, 20-14, at MetLife Stadium.
