FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -It all stunningly comes down to this for the New York Jets: Win, and they’re in.
A week after coach Rex Ryan mistakenly thought his team’s playoff chances were over, the Jets control their postseason destiny. New York has been the beneficiary of lots of luck down the stretch, including finishing the regular season against playoff-bound teams with little to play for.
That’s the case again this week against Cincinnati in the football finale at Giants Stadium.
But lose to the Bengals, and the Jets will have squandered an opportunity that was set up perfectly. Previously undefeated Indianapolis rested Peyton Manning and other stars for most of the second half in New York’s 29-15 win, and the Jets got loads of help elsewhere.
