What we learned about the Jets:
1. The Jets are alive and well in the AFC wild-card race. With Sunday's 38-20 win over the Miami Dolphins, the Jets improved to 6-5 and moved into a tie for the two AFC wild-card spots with the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets are technically third in the race, ahead of only the Steelers, thanks to a head-to-head loss to the Texans and the Chiefs' superior AFC record (5-2 for Kansas City vs. 5-4 for the Jets). But being on the outside looking in due to tiebreakers is sure better than being 5-6 and having many more hurdles to clear.
