I think the takeaway here is that the AFC East is completely and totally up for grabs. There is no dominating team at this point in the season. They say this is a game of inches, and a few inches here or there would have the Jets at the top of the division. Obviously, that isn't the world we live in, but the point here is that the season is not over, and the Jets have a very real shot at the division if they don't keep preventing themselves from winning.
