Thank you, thank you, thank you… is being shouted from the New York Jets locker room to the New England Patriots for Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars down in Altell Stadium in Jacksonville Fla. In an ironic twist, the Pats’ 24-21 victory over the Jaguars means the Jets control their postseason destiny. If the Jets defeat the Dolphins Monday night and then hold serve at home next weekend against the Raiders, the Green & White will be a Wild Card entry from the American Football Conference.

Entering Week 16, there were four AFC teams who shared identical 8-6 records: the Jets, the Bengals, the Broncos, and the Jaguars. Jacksonville fell to 8-7 with its home loss and with Denver’s 24-23 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, moves the Jets one game ahead of Cincinnati and Jacksonville, and into a tie with Denver.
The only downside to New England’s win from a Jets’ perspective was the Patriots clinched the AFC East Sunday. But the Jets now have a great opportunity to join their division rivals in the postseason. Head coach Eric Mangini will lead the Jets onto the field Christmas night at Dolphins Stadium as they’ll become the only team in franchise history to play on December 25.
