Power Rankings

Jets solidify their position in power rankings

Admin - September 20, 2011

It's another week, another win and another move upwards in power rankings for the New York Jets. Following their blowout win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the top three sports websites now seem to be in agreement that the Gang Green is among the NFL powerhouses. ESPN raised the Jets' stock from #5 to #3. CBS Sports moved them 3 places up - from #6 to #3. Finally, FOX Sports put the Jets up at #4 (from #8 last week).

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

ESPN:  The loss of C Nick Mangold further hurts the Jets' ability to run the ball.

FOX Sports: The Jets needed this dominant defensive performance to take their swagger on the road to Oakland in Week 3. Mark Sanchez was an efficient 17 of 24, but still threw two interceptions. He can't afford to play down to the level of his competition.

CBS Sports: They're 2-0, but how good are they? I still worry about what they can do on offense, if they are forced to do it.
