Power Rankings

Jets move back up in power rankings

Admin - October 16, 2012

After falling in power rankings for three straight weeks, the New York Jets finally climbed a few spots back up. Fox Sports, ProFootballTalk and ProFootballWeekly all placed the Jets in the top 20. Fox Sports, who rated the Jets lower than all the other websites a week ago, moved Rex Ryan's team nine places up to #18. ESPN moved the Gang Green two spots up - from $25 to #23. Finally, CBS Sports apparently didn't think much of the Jets' win against the Colts, as the Gang Green moved only from #24 to #23 on their chart.

Here's what all these websites had to say about the Jets:

ESPN: Return of ground-and-pound: The Jets ran the ball 44 times Sunday and threw 19 passes. That's a winning formula for Mark Sanchez.

FOX Sports: Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was surprisingly effective against quicker WR Reggie Wayne, even if the Jets' CB did have two interception returns negated by pass-interference penalties.

CBS Sports: They showed some offensive life against the Colts with Shonn Greene running the football. Who was that moving the football on offense? Now comes a big one with the Patriots.

ProFootballTalk: When the starting quarterback throws for 82 yards and he’s believed to have done a good job, the bar is way too low.

ProFootballWeekly: Ground-and-pound formula helped crush Colts. Will it work vs. Pats?
