Today, the New York Jets lost 31-13 to a team named after a metal used in auto manufacturing and dressed up like bees. The Pittsburgh Steelers swarmed around our men in green, piercing them with barbs of TD after TD.
Neither the highlights reel nor the stats on the game show that our man on the East Coast, Fitzpatrick the Bearded, turned over the ball at any point. Rather, the New York Jets impressed us all by having zero (0) turnovers during the game and by recovering yet another QB fumble. In this respect, and in #15's quite beautiful TD reception in the first quarter, the Jets showed, once again, that a losing "result" is only 1/4 of the story. The other 3/4 of the story is that the New York Jets are obviously the most superior side, in a moral sense, in the AFC.
Clearly, on this website, this statement is beyond question. However, for all of the doubters out there, and there are many, we ask you to view the following tweet from the New York Jets:
O, New York Jets, however many hearts you crushed in the Western Hemisphere (and, perhaps, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and maybe even Antarctica) by your defeat, we agree. We draw upon your inspiring words and your utter righteousness to carry us through these dark early days of the 2016-17 season..@BMarshall: "Now is the time to stick together...We've got a lot of ball left." pic.twitter.com/O0zU7dDN00— New York Jets (@nyjets) October 9, 2016
We Jets fans MUST stick together, if only to be obstinate in the face of destiny's fury. There IS a lot of ball left. 12 more games. Onward, you Jets. Onward.

NFC West Statistical Update:
Because the Los Angeles Rams were utterly routed in Los Angeles this afternoon by the cheekily named Buffalo Bills, they are now (3-2)and sitting, as they should be, below the Hawks--at their feet as it were--in the standings. Last week's anomalous statistical shenanigans have been rectified.
