Islander milestones, Mets and Yankees signings, Jets make the playoffs, silent TV football, and the Knicks beat the clock. See what happened this day in NY sports by clicking below.
It was just a matter of time until the New York Jets reverted back to being the flawed team they were earlier this season. After beating three inferior teams in the Bills, Redskins and Chiefs, the Jets dealt with reality yesterday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field following a 45-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Their issues have not gone away at all. They can’t protect the quarterback, they can’t form a consistent running game, and they most certainly can’t stop the run. The weaknesses were in full display against the Eagles, and it was ugly to watch
I’ve lost four of my last five games, but I still control my own destiny going into the final week of the season. I’m in fourth place (tied for third record-wise), one game ahead of the 5th and 6th playoff spots. Win, and I’m in; lose, and...it looks like there’s a big lump of possible tie-break scenarios that I haven’t figured out. So, win and I’m in. I’m also about to face the league’s last-place team. So missing the playoffs this week would be a Coughlin-esque Collapse. Click ahead for my fantasy round-up
