"They’re a solid team, and you obviously saw what they did last week," Wilson told reporters Tuesday of the matchup. "They got a big win against Dallas, so it’s going to be another good challenge for us. I'm excited for us to just try and keep taking that next step and learning and improving."
"We’ve got to win this week," offensive tackle Duane Brown said. "That’s the bottom line, that’s all we can think about. We can’t think about playoffs, next week, other scenarios outside our team, who loses, who wins, who can help us. We have to think about Jacksonville on Thursday night and winning this ballgame.
"This is a must win in our eyes. That’s how we look at it."

The Jets are two spots out of the playoffs and will need to push through the final three games of the season to end an 11-year playoff drought.
"You’ve got to stay in the moment and stay process-driven," coach Robert Saleh said Monday. "If you start thinking, ‘We’ve got to win this one, this one, this one’ — you got to win the moment."
