The fact that the New England Patriots have won an NFL record nine straight AFC East titles isn't enough to discourage their intra-divisional foes, which is a healthy attitude, we guess. Someday Tom Brady's got to get old.
During a recent appearance on CBS Radio, Jets receiver Quincy Enunwa told hosts Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney that he thinks the Pats are "vulnerable" going into the 2018 season. We're not buying that at all, but we concede that fluky shit does happen every year. Also he's an athlete, what do you expect him to say?
A day after his interview with Barber and Tierney, Enunwa said he was just responding to the hosts' inquiry, but he also thought the Jets could compete for the AFC East crown.
"Obviously, I just wanted to agree," he said on SiriusXM NFL Radio over the weekend. "I think they may be. But I also think that we’re capable of finally dethroning them. I think that we’ve always been. It’s just about getting over that hump of finishing games."
He continued: “Not to add more bulletin board material for them, but I think for us, we’re hyper-confident and believe that we can do that."
The Jets have been less than impressive over the past several years, finishing last in the AFC East in three of the past four seasons. They last made the playoffs in 2010, and last won the East in 2002 with a 9-7 record. They also drafted USC quarterback Sam Darnold with the third overall pick last week.
Nothing wrong with believing in your team.
