NASHVILLE – Rex Ryan is taking nothing for granted, not the way this season has gone for the New York Jets.
The Jets still have hope that a favorable schedule will give them a chance at the playoffs even after a 3-6 start. Ryan, though, is taking it one game at a time, beginning with the woeful Tennessee Titans tonight.
“I know we have three games left in the regular season,” Ryan said. “But every bit of our energy is focused on this particular game. Whatever is in the past, we can’t dwell on or look at or whatever. We’re just focused right now on one game.”
The Jets (6-7) head to Nashville having won two straight and three of their last four to put themselves a game out of the AFC’s No. 6 seed. After the Titans (4-9), Jets finish out at home against San Diego (5-8) and at Buffalo (5-8).
“Guarantees are no good,” Jets safety Yeremiah Bell said. “As a team, you’ve just got to take care of business. Talk is cheap. You’ve still got to go out; you’ve still got to play the game. As long as we keep that one-game-mentality approach, we’ll be fine.”
