To go from 7-4 to 7-8 in the midst of a playoff pursuit can be deflating for any franchise. It becomes easy to get caught up in all the negativity that seems to be closing in around you. Head coach Robert Saleh is doing his best to keep a positive attitude around One Jets Drive, especially with the Jets still in the playoff hunt after getting some fortunate results on Christmas weekend even after losing on Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“We’ve played four teams that are all in the thick of the playoff hunt — two teams playing for No. 1 seeds, two teams playing for that last playoff spot,” Saleh said. “So, in my mind, we’re getting such valuable experience with regards to playing playoff atmosphere football, and we’re about to do it again in Seattle on the road.”
