What would happen if I said…
- The Jets' offense scored 27 points, the most this season.
- The team's top running back, Breece Hall, rushed for 78 yards and 1 TD on 16 carries and caught seven passes for 43 yards and 1 TD, looking like the two-way weapon he is touted. Ta.
- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 29 for 184 yards and two TDs after an anemic start.
- Davante Adams, the much-hyped receiver acquired midway through the season, finally broke out as a Jet (well, sort of), catching six passes for 72 yards.
- They didn't turn the ball over on offense, forced one takeaway on defense, and committed only two penalties, a harmless 14-yard penalty.
- Oh yeah, Anders Karlsson, the fourth kicker in the last four games, made both of his field goals. One was made from 58 yards for a 17-16 lead, and the other was made from 35 yards for a 27-22 lead. 2 minutes and 41 seconds left in the game.
If I told you that all of this happened at the Jets vs. Colts game at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, how much of your weekly salary would you bet on the Jets winning?
Hopefully, you won't pay a penny for rent or mortgage.
Because despite doing all of the above right, the Jets still found a way to mislead their beleaguered fan base, losing to the Colts 28-27 and going into their bye week at an absolutely embarrassing 3-8. Because of this.
