Jets needs to focus on this week before even thinking about a ‘run’

The run. 

The Jets, during their five-game losing streak, which they finally put to a merciful end Thursday with a win over the Texans, kept talking about making a run to vault themselves into the playoff conversation. 

Here’s the thing about runs. You can talk all you want about them. But in order to get on a run, you’ve got to win games. One at a time. Once you’ve strung a few wins together, then you’re on a run. 

The Jets, to date, have not proven themselves to be run-worthy. That could, of course, change. But until further notice, we’re in a wait-and-see mode. 

The Jets, coming off a game few thought they would lose two weeks ago in New England against the lowly Patriots, won a game many didn’t believe they could when, at 2-6 and with their season on the brink, they beat the 6-2 Texans Thursday night. 

After a calamity-cluttered first half, they looked as good as they’ve looked all season in the final 30 minutes of that Houston game.
