Season Recap - 2013 New York Jets

New York Jets



Final Record: 8-8
Finished: 2nd Place in the AFC East
2014 Draft Position: 18th

Preseason Ranking: 29

Week 1: Defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 18-17
    Ranked - 16
    Ugly, ugly win over the Buccaneers. Could bode well for their Thursday Night game against the Patriots.

Week 2: Lost at the New England Patriots, 13-10
    Ranked - 22
    Is there any team in the league that plays uglier football than the New York Jets?

Week 3: Defeated the Buffalo Bills, 27-20
    Ranked - 15
    The Jets are still winning ugly, but unlike past seasons, they are winning. Looks like we have definitely seen the end of Mark Sanchez's inaccurate reign of terror.

Week 4: Lost at the Tennessee Titans, 38-13
    Ranked - 20
    So much for winning and losing ugly… the Jets just got clobberd by the Titans.

Week 5: Defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 30-28
    Ranked - 16
    Well that was certainly an impressive win on Monday Night over the Falcons. At least we know one thing for certain about the Jets - we've seen the last of Mark Sanchez.

Week 6: Lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 19-6
    Ranked - 21
    Just when you think they have it all figured out, they lose at home in an ugly game.

Week 7: Defeated the New England Patriots, 30-27
    Ranked - 14
    The only thing, honestly, that surprised me about the Jets upset of the Patriots last week was the number of points scored in the contest. The Jets get an impressive, much-needed win at home over their division rivals.

Week 8: Lost at the Cincinnati Bengals, 49-9
    Ranked - 16
    Isn't it just like the Jets to win a great game over their division rivals and then get completely blown out the following week?

Week 9: Defeated the New Orleans Saints, 26-20
    Ranked - 14
    Huge win for the Jets at home to follow up a huge loss last week. This win one, lose one approach won't get them to the playoffs though.

Week 10: BYE WEEK
    Ranked - 16
    A winning record coming out of the bye week? Few predicted that for the Jets.

Week 11: Lost at the Buffalo Bills, 37-14
    Ranked - 17
    The Jets looked so good before their bye week. It's like the break turned them into a horrible team overnight.

Week 12: Lost at the Baltimore Ravens, 19-3
    Ranked - 22
    The Jets showed a lot of promise, but now they seem to be finally playing as well as everybody thought they would.

Week 13: Lost to the Miami Dolphins, 23-3
    Ranked - 23
    In our eagerness to be rid of Mark Sanchez, perfhaps we proclaimed the era of Geno Smith too soon?

Week 14: Defeated the Oakland Raiders, 37-27
    Ranked - 19
    The Jets gained a little bit of relevance in the AFC playoff chase, but the offense is just too erratic in order for them to make it to the postseason.

Week 15: Lost at the Carolina Panthers, 30-20
    Ranked - 21
    The Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs for the third straight year… now they need to focus on building an offense that can compete in the AFC East.

Week 16: Defeated the Cleveland Browns, 24-13
    Ranked - 21
    Out of the playoffs, the Jets still have a say in the AFC wild Card picture when they take on the Miami Dolphins.

Week 17: Defeated the Miami Dolphins, 20-7

Final Ranking: 19


Tomorrow, the 2013 Miami Dolphins...
