Antonio Cromartie is not Darrelle Revis. Let's just make that perfectly clear. But for the first time in his two-plus-year tenure with the Jets he appears to want to be.
Five weeks into the season we have two unbeaten teams and one winless team. Drew Brees broke a 52-year-old record once thought to be unbreakable. Everybody is over .500 in the NFC West, and what is wrong with the Packers?
I'm not yet going to root for draft-spot-clinching losses after watching the Jets fall to Houston. But I can see it on the horizon.

What's a bigger surprise through the first four weeks of this NFL season: the Cardinals at 4-0 or the Saints at 0-4? Maybe it's the 3-1 Vikings.
While the Jets are standing by Mark Sanchez right now, perhaps their biggest potential playmaker - Tim Tebow - is mostly just standing by.
It was an embarrassing Sunday for the Jets as they stunk up MetLife Stadium.
