The New York Jets, standing at 2-3 after five games, could have viewed their position with optimism.<\/p>
In Week 4, they narrowly lost 10-9 to the Denver Broncos after missing a potential game-winning field goal in the final quarter. The following week against the Minnesota Vikings, the Jets were driving for a chance at victory until Aaron Rodgers<\/a> threw his third interception of the game, sealing a 23-17 loss.<\/p> For the hopeful, New York’s sub-.500 record still held promise. Their last two losses were by a combined seven points, only a field goal away from a 3-2 record or a single better throw from a surprising 4-1. Despite being 2-3, they were just one game behind the Buffalo Bills in the race for the AFC East lead.<\/p>
