New York Jets: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#23)

Last week: 23 (+2)

Record: 3-4

I’m impressed with the way the Jets have bounced back from losing Darrelle Revis and then getting shut out at home by the 49ers. Since then, they’ve covered in 3 straight games, hanging with the Texans, blowing out the Colts, and hanging with the Patriots in New England. Antonio Cromartie is playing out of his mind right now since Revis went down, allowing 7 catches for 109 yards on 22 attempts, with 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions, and 4 pass deflections. The defensive and offensive fronts are playing like they have before, allowing the team’s run offense and run defense to improve. Mark Sanchez is still the limiting factor (against anyone except the Patriots’ horrific secondary), but this team is moving up despite the loss. I’m impressed.
