📰 News we're reading
• Despite a 1-2 record, the Jets have the look of trending upwards (amsterdamnews.com) — Jets fans in East Rutherford just watched their team blow a 10-point lead at MetLife Stadium, yet analysts still see encouraging signs. With Geno Smith steady at quarterback and a defense ranked second in yards allowed, the 1-2 Jets are viewed as a rising squad that could realistically push toward eight or nine wins this season.
