New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles honored his pregame promise and allowed players to go super casual as it relates to the expected dress code for the team flight back home after a 20-7 dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts on “Monday Night Football.”
“Sweats on the plane,” Bowles said during a postgame locker room speech, eliciting hoots and hollers from the players.
NFL teams typically prefer players to be dressed to the nines during travel, so the fact the rookie Jets coach relaxed the rules and allowed players to rock sweatpants or other assorted casual wear certainly will raise morale for a team already flying high courtesy of a 2-0 start.
