The updated power rankings are out and the New York Jets have considerably moved up on all major sports websites. ESPN has the Gang Green up to #16 from #23 a week ago. FOX Sports has them up to #14 from #20 last week. CBS Sports moved the Jets 8 spots up from #24 to #16.
Here's what the top 3 websites had to say about the Jets:
ESPN: Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez are two of the most exciting additions to the AFC.
FOX Sports: What a debut for Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan. The Jets seem to really have something in young Sanchez — eat your heart out, Pete Carroll! His pocket savvy and downfield vision is better than half the starting QBs in the league already, and Rex Ryan's defense pitched a virtual shutout in the opener (only TD allowed was on INT return).
CBS Sports: Maybe we underestimated this team. If Mark Sanchez is as good as he was in the opener, they will be good. Rex Ryan brings a nice attitude to the defense.
