If the New York Jets want to find themselves preparing for a football game 365 days from now, they need to take note of what happened around the NFL this past weekend.

The teams that get stuck in the mud are usually the ones who fail to adapt to leaguewide trends.
Above anything else, there is one major lesson New York must take away from Wild Card weekend.
