New York Jets: Super Bowl Bound?

The New York Jets are 4-1 and on top of the AFC East. The Jets came into the 2010 season with high expectations, and so far they are living up to the hype.

After a week one loss to the Ravens, the Jets have ripped off four straight and have only committed an amazing one turnover. Rex Ryan's Jets' winning streak began in week two at home against their division rivals, the New England Patriots. The Jets' defense had their way with the Pats and led them to a 28-14 victory. The win against the Patriots said a lot about the Jets' football team; They can bounce back from a tough loss, and they can contend with Bill Belichick's Patriots.They have followed week two with wins against division rivals, the Dolphins and the Bills. Perhaps the biggest win came last night against their former quarterback Brett Favre and the Vikings.

Many aspects have contributed to the Jets' success this season, and it all starts with the running game. LaDainian Tomlinson has been a big surprise for Jet fans this season, as he has ran extremely well through five weeks. The duo of Tomlinson second year man Shonn Greene have combined for over 700 yards and four touchdowns. The former Charger came to New York in the offseason wanting to prove that he is still a primary back, and he has done so thus far in this young 2010 season.

 Quarterback Mark Sanchez has bounced back after a dreadful rookie season. Sanchez threw 20 interceptions last season, and has thrown none throughout the first five weeks of the 2010 season. Sanchez's solid play has silenced his critics and has allowed the Jets to be so successful this season. Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has let Mark Sanchez show off his ability to throw the ball down field. this has been great for Jet fans, who have been so used to seeing nothing but short passes and check-downs.

The Jets have overcome off the field controversy with star cornerback Darrelle Revis, and any criticism aimed at them for HBO's Hard Knocks. Coach Ryan has led his Jets to a 4-1 record atop the AFC East, and also a 3-0 record in their division.

The Jets are contenders in the AFC and they have one thing on their mind, the Super Bowl.
