The Jets won the Metlife bowl with an overtime victory over the Giants on Saturday night.\u00a0 The win came with a price as the Jets suffered injuries to Mark Sanchez, Stephen Hill and Vladimir Ducasse.\u00a0 We will have updates on those injured players as more details are released.\u00a0 For now here are Rex Ryan’s thoughts on the victory.<\/p>\n
To pull out a win in a situation where you turn the ball over five times, had two fumbles, three picks, had a safety against us, had a missed field goal with an asterisk, (it) looked like it could have been two misses there, and gave up an 84-yard run to start the game, I don\u2019t know if you can ever win a game that way. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s preseason or what. We have a thing, \u201cOne team, one fight,\u201d and that\u2019s what it took. There\u2019s no question about it. And I\u2019ll take it. I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m not apologizing for it. We\u2019ll take the win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rex did admit that the Jets have to correct a lot of things.\u00a0 But he was happy that some players stepped up.<\/p>\n
I think there were some guys that really stepped up. Obviously, Ryan (Spadola), Spicoli as we call him, he stepped up, had a big day. I love the way the defense responded. I\u2019ve been on some record-setting rushing defenses in my career. I\u2019ve been blessed that way. I never thought I\u2019d be one in futility, but that opening run of 84 yards, that was a little embarrassing to say the least. After that fact, I thought the defense really buckled down. And the way the defense in particular responded after the turnovers is exactly what we stressed from day one, that they\u2019re not in there until there in there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
