Pro Football Focus has some guarded optimism for the New York Jets with a recent projection of a winning season. It could well mean a return to the playoffs for the Jets.
The projected win total by Pro Football Focus (PFF) for the Jets is a clear hedge, given the questions about the return of Aaron Rodgers. Given that Rodgers was injured in the first quarter of the first week of the regular season.
And while the 40-year-old Rodgers has been very healthy throughout his NFL career, there is still some concern about his comeback. The Jets rebuilt their offensive line this offseason to sustain Rodgers’ career, and a healthy quarterback likely means the Jets are in the playoffs this season.
With a strength of schedule in the bottom half of the league, the opportunity is certainly there for the Jets to make a run into the postseason.
They are being projected by PFF as having 9.0349 wins this season. That is the third-highest projection in the AFC East:
- Buffalo Bills (9.723 projected wins)
- Miami Dolphins (9.141 projected wins)
The New England Patriots had the lowest projected win total (6.4974) in the NFL according to PFF.
