Jets Have Reached Crucial Jumping-Off Point, Now It's Time To Rise
The Jets aren't in the playoff picture yet, but they aren't far away, and they have the structure on offense to grow into a solid team. By Steve Silverman The Jets are flying high and the future is bright – at least compared to the New York Giants. While the Giants are feeling sorry for themselves because their quarterback is old and he can't get out of the way of a decent pass rush, the Jets have a young, smart and improving signal caller who is getting better each week. Sam Darnold had the game of his young career as he completed 24-of-30 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and one interception as the Jets got the best of the Indianapolis Colts 42-34. So, now that the Jets have beaten Denver and Indianapolis in back-to-back weeks, they are in a position to turn the season into something memorable, as Joe Namath told the fans at MetLife Stadium Sunday.
