New York Jets’ playoff hopes in hands of ‘football gods’

Bowles’ remarks come as his Jets team prepares to host the Patriots on Sunday at MetLife Stadium (1 p.m. ET), and perhaps there is some level of pumping up the opposition from Bowles, which is something Bill Belichick is known to do at times.

Many members of Steelers Nation were certainly scrambling for their blood pressure medication in the first half, and because of the exhilarating nature of the comeback, the lion’s share of those fans were reaching for their favorite celebratory beverage afterward.


Drug Overdose Death Rate at All-Time High: CDC Report
CDC Director Tom Frieden in the report pointed to an “alarming” surge in overdose deaths from 2013-a 14% increase was seen. The new report, however, suggested that heroin-related death had something to do with the drug’s accessibility.

Outlook: If Denver splits its final two games, the Steelers and Jets can match records by winning out.

Conversely, if the Steelers beat the Ravens and Browns, and the Chiefs sweep their last two opponents (the Browns and the Oakland Raiders), then Pittsburgh will garner the No. 6 seed and will probably play the Bengals or the Broncos. “All I can worry about is us”.

However, the Chiefs have a solid chance to win the AFC West. They trail Denver by just a game now with two games to play and the Chiefs hold the tie-breaker. It doesn’t matter who we were playing this week.

But the same could have been said for the first team in franchise history to win a championship. “So we’ve just got to get ready for New England this week”.

At 11-5, the Jets would stand a pretty good chance of making it. Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Denver all have two games to go.

Two of the contenders in this year’s Superbowl race go head to head on Monday Night Football in Week 16 as A.J.McCarron and the Cincinnati Bengals take on Brock Osweiler and the Denver Broncos.

The Steelers are the No. 6 seed in the AFC, but they might have the best chance of any team to secure a wild-card berth. If the Jets lose to the Patriots and the Steelers, Chiefs and Broncos all win this week, Gang Green would be eliminated.

“He studies the game”, Bowles said.

The only top-echelon team the Jets have faced this season, the 12-2 New England Patriots, beat them 30-23 in Week 7.

The Chiefs’ stay outside of the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture was a short one, and after Sunday’s action they edged closer to a division title.

“There’s a lot of guys that go undrafted”, Bowles said. We’ve put ourselves in a good position…

The Patriots picked up their second straight win last weekend, manhandling the Tennessee Titans 33-16 and covering as 14-point chalk in their final home game of the regular season. But some bungled clock management, a late Brady-led drive and a 10-second runoff penalty to end the game with NY trying for the tying score short-circuited the Jets’ chances. I think each part of your question requires some thought and every decision impacts other things as well, so you just can’t act independently when one thing happens when there is a residual effect to it one way or another as part of the conversation. Bowles believes the team is different than the one the Patriots faced two months ago. The Broncos let a tremendous opportunity slip out of their hands last week; I am hoping that Gary Kubiak will take that situation and use it to motivate the team today!
