‘The football gods are finally smiling on the Jets after spending a year showering them with enough misfortune to last a decade. Maybe it’s payback for taking quarterback Vinny Testaverde away from them less than two quarters into last season and striking down several more players with injuries. Maybe it’s payback for taking Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick and Keyshawn Johnson away from them in one fell swoop last off-season. Maybe, just maybe, it’s because the Jets haven’t had much to cheer about since their 1969 Super Bowl victory.’
