Given that only five teams in NFL history have reached the playoffs after starting the season 0-3, Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson arguably was stating the obvious when he emphasized how critical it is for the team to win in its matchup Sunday against the undefeated New York Jets.
“It’s must win this week,” Johnson said, via NJ Advanced Media. “You can’t really hang your head down low and feel sorry for yourself. If you do that it’ll be a lot longer season than you want it to be. As far as this team is concerned, we’ve gotta get a win over a good Jets team.
