The New York Jets did not catch many breaks in their 27-12 loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals. But they did on Monday when injured linebacker Quincy Williams received some good medical news.

The New York Jets crashed back to earth Sunday, losing 27-12 at home to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets are now 1-2 after failing to build on the momentum of their thrilling comeback win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. As incredible as that win was last week, the cold fact is that the […]

Joe Flacco was cheered during pregame introductions Sunday before the New York Jets lost 27-12 at home to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. But the veteran quarterback was booed during the game.

While their win last week was thrilling, the New York Jets head into a Week 3 showdown against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals looking to fix one important thing. Their defense.

Maybe Robert Saleh was on to something earlier this week when he said his team is not “the same old Jets.” It seemed like a bold declaration after the New York Jets’ 24-9 Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens but appeared more telling after an improbable 31-30 comeback win against the Cleveland Browns in […]

When you’ve won as few times as the New York Jets have in the past decade there’s never just one key to winning a game. However, when they play the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 Sunday, there’s one obvious thing the Jets must do to give themselves a chance at winning the game. Stop the […]

Robert Saleh wore his “Positive Vibes Only” tee shirt earlier this week when he passionately defended the New York Jets from critics after their ugly Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
