What seemed impossible a month ago is now reality. The Jets and Patriots meet on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium with first place in the AFC East on the line.
Since a 30-21 loss at New England on Oct. 9 the Jets have turned their defense around. Not that it was at all bad at the beginning of the season. It's just that the dominant defense Rex Ryan insisted the Jets would have has started to show up in a big way.
If you thought last week was bad like Neil Keefe did, then you can expect this week this week to be worse. Nine of the 16 games have spreads of three points or less (and the Giants-49ers line is 3.5).
Jets fans this is your chance to turn that big, gray stadium into a green-clad Bedlam, a cauldron where no opponent, much less a truly ticked off New England Patriots squad, would dare to tread without a good silent count at the ready.
