INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Todd Bowles is keeping the Jets grounded.

Sure, they’re off to their first 2-0 start since 2011, the defense forced five more turnovers Monday night against Andrew Luck and, of course, the New York fans are already revving up for more after a 20-7 win at Indianapolis. Bowles knows there’s still a lot of work to be done.

“It’s a good win, but it’s only win No. 2,” the first-year Jets coach said after a 20-7 victory at Indianapolis. “We’re not where we want to be, but we’re on the way.”

The defense might not be able to get much better.

New York already has five takeaways in the first two games and has scored 31 points off those miscues after producing only 20 points all of last season.
