Jets Week 13 Anti-Game Balls and Game Ball
Photo by Rich Schultz/ The Jets lost a heartbreaker to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. Let’s give out some anti-game balls to the culprits along with a single game ball to a worthy player. Anti-Game Balls Mike LaFleur: The offensive coordinator is always the low hanging fruit. He usually receives effusive criticism when the team losing. When the team wins, he usually gets ignored. It isn’t really fair. The proportion of blame that falls on the play caller is usually too great. Any play looks bad when the players don’t execute it correctly. I get the feeling some...

Photo by Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via The New York Jets fell a yard short of a huge upset against the Vikings The New York Jets were on the road on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. After the Vikings dominated the first half, the Jets spent the second half mounting a prolonged comeback, getting within one yard of taking the lead in the last two minutes before suffering a heart breaking loss in Minnesota.

New York Jets Flight Connections 12/6/22
John Autey / MediaNews Group / St. Paul Pioneer Press via Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Despite Mike White not securing a Jets’ W on Sunday, he’s still expected to get the start against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Robert Saleh refused to get into the debate between the two starting quarterbacks, and quite frankly, it seems that he’s scared to make a definitive statement other than the starting decision. It makes sense in a way, as Zach Wilson was the...

Five Takeaways from the Jets’ Loss to the Vikings
Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports The Jets suffered a frustrating loss in the Twin Cities to the Vikings to fall to 7-5. What can we take from this game? Here are five thoughts. The Jets defense hasn’t been the same since the bye. I don’t think the Jets have played bad defense the last three weeks. The dominant unit on the team has been dominant for stretches in all three games. There hasn’t been complete dominance, though. The games have all had their unique struggles. Against the Patriots, the defense kept the scoring low but allowed New England to sustain...

Mike White to Start at Quarterback for Jets vs. Bills
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports It comes as no surprise, but Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced Monday that Mike White will start his third consecutive game at quarterback Week 14 when the Jets visit the Buffalo Bills. Not that it needed to be asked, but I did anyway: The QB situation is status quo, which means White continues to start and it's still on a week-to-week basis, Saleh says. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) December 5, 2022 And by status quo, it means Zach Wilson will remain the QB3/inactive, with Joe Flacco the QB2, per Saleh. #Jets— Rich Cimini...

Jets Fading AFC East Hopes Depend on a Week 14 Win vs. Bills
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports The Jets’ Week 13 loss to the Vikings did not cost them much in the race for Playoff positioning. New York remains in seventh place in the AFC, holding the conference’s final postseason berth. The Jets did, however, take a step back in the division race. Entering the weekend a single game out of the division lead, New York now finds itself two games behind the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo defeated the Patriots on Thursday Night Football earlier in Week 13. The rest of the division got a bit of help from the San Francisco 49ers, who defeated...

Jets Still in Playoff Position Even After Loss to Vikings
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports The Jets entered their Week 13 game against the Minnesota Vikings narrowly holding onto the seventh seed in the AFC Playoff race. The game brought heartbreak as Minnesota squeezed out a narrow victory. The silver lining is the Jets received a bit of help. The two teams that entered Week 13 one game behind the Jets for the seventh seed both lost. The Bills beat the Patriots in Thursday Night Football, and the Raiders beat the Chargers on Sunday. This means the Jets retain control of the seventh and final Playoff spot in the conference. Of...

Vikings 27 Jets 22: Pain
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports 2022 for the New York Jets is shaping up to be the type of season where the team will either make or miss the Playoffs by a razor thin margin. If the Jets make the postseason this year, they will likely look back at tight victories over Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo as moments that ended the NFL’s longest postseason drought. If, however, the team falls short it will be a long offseason looking back at squandered opportunities. The loss to the Patriots two weeks ago will be at the top of the mind. So will today’s game where the Jets...

Jets vs Vikings Second Half Thread
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports The first half of the New York Jets game against the Minnesota Vikings is in the books, and the Jets are trailing the Vikings 20 - 6 in a game that threatens to become a blowout. The Jets got the ball to open the game. It did not go well. A Mike White pass to Corey Davis was intercepted and the Vikings almost immediately had the ball in scoring position at the Jets 34 yard line.
