Power Rankings

Jets rise in power rankings

Admin - September 13, 2011

Following their come from behind victory against the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Jets moved up in power rankings of all 3 major sports websites. ESPN moved them up from #7 to #5. FOX Sports raised the Gang Green's stock from #9 to #8. Finally, CBS Sports had them 4 spots up (from #10 to #6).

Here's what the top 3 websites had to say about the Jets:

ESPN:  Mark Sanchez should send Tony Romo a thank you card for opening victory.

FOX Sports: The Jets showed resiliency in a highly emotional playoff-type atmosphere. In the end, they needed Tony Romo's mistakes to win the game, but a win is still a win. In case you haven't heard, cornerback Darrelle Revis is a difference maker.

CBS Sports: The comeback against the Cowboys speaks volumes about their mental toughness. I just worry they will play a lot of close games -- and you can't do that in all of them.
