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.
