FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – The New York Jets are getting pretty good at dealing with distractions.
The national spotlight of a reality show. Darrelle Revis’ high-profile holdout. Key injuries. An NFL investigation for their treatment of a television reporter. The drunken-driving arrest of Braylon Edwards.
The Jets have managed to shove all that aside and stand tied atop the AFC East at 2-1 after a 31-23 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.
Coach Rex Ryan says his team is resilient, focused and believes in each other – no matter what anyone says. Bryan Thomas says all teams have distractions, but the good ones overcome them, as the Jets are doing.
With winless Buffalo up next, New York insists there will be no letdown this weekend.
