You know what good teams do? They bounce back after losing a heartbreaker. The Jets, a week ago against New England, were at their lowest. They felt they should have won that game and they didn’t. Bad teams let that linger. The Jets found a way to put it behind them and beat the kings of the AFC East the last two years.

You know what good teams have? Good freaking players. And suddenly the Jets are overflowing with them. There’s superstar-in-making Garrett Wilson. The wideout caught eight passes for 92 yards as he seemingly gets better and better every seven days. Don’t forget about running back Michael Carter (86 total yards), wideout Denzel Mims (huge third-down catch on the Jets’ game-winning drive) and tight end Tyler Conklin.

You know a trait of a good team? They’re never out of it. The Jets fell behind by two possessions early in this one. Allen’s 37-yard touchdown run in the second quarter put Buffalo up 14-3. It didn’t matter. The Jets crawled back. That’s nothing new, though. The Jets have faced double-digit deficits six times this year. They’re 3-3 in those games.

Maybe the most important aspect of a good team? An identity. The Jets have that, too. It’s their defense which is fast developing a reputation as one of — if not the — best in the NFL. They not only have a dominant front, but, according to Sauce Gardner, the best cornerbacking unit in the NFL with him and D.J. Reed. The Jets made Allen, an MVP candidate, look pedestrian at best. He was 18-of-34 (52.9 percent) for 205 yards with zero touchdowns, two interceptions and a quarterback rating of 46.8. His yardage, touchdown and quarterback rating were his lowest since Week 16 of last year.

“We play for each other, man,” Reed said. “We really love each other.”

There isn’t a soul over at One Jets Drive who saw this start coming. They knew they’d be better this year than last — well, hoped they would. They were realistic, though, because of the number of first- and second-year players they planned to start. The goal was four wins before the bye. If they did that, they’d position themselves to play meaningful games down the stretch.

Take that and throw it out the window.
