Despite not playing last weekend, the New York Jets moved up in power rankings on two of the three top sports websites. CBS Sports had the Jets up from #19 to #16. FOX Sports moved the Gang Green from #15 to #14. Only ESPN kept their position unchanged - #18.
Here's what the top 3 websites had to say about the Jets:
ESPN: Rex Ryan gave the Jets a week off. Now it's time for their defense to start inflicting pain.
FOX Sports: FIRST-HALF BLESSING: Despite their recent skid, QB Mark Sanchez and coach Rex Ryan have provided new juice to a franchise that was lacking in that department. But both should really be patting RB Thomas Jones on the back after a strong first half.
FIRST-HALF CURSE: Both sides of the ball have suffered injury to major pieces of the Jets' puzzle, with DT Kris Jenkins and RB/KR Leon Washington lost for the season.
CBS Sports: They come out of their bye at .500 and face another .500 team in Jacksonville. They can't afford another loss, not with New England the following week.
