These Jets now get chance to show us they’re different

Just over 12 months ago, the Jets entered the fourth quarter against the Steelers with a nine-point lead after playing well all game only to blow the game and lose on a late field goal. 

That familiar script showed up again Sunday in the swamps of New Jersey as the Jets watched a 17-7 fourth-quarter over the Packers lead vanish in the fourth quarter and then Trey Smack hit a 26-yard field goal in overtime to finish the Jets off 20-17, sending the Jets to a crushing Week 2 defeat at MetLife Stadium.
