You had to see the game to understand. Jets are 11th on the table, they've been one of the league's cellar dwellers for years, we were at home, and yet we had 30 percent possession and created far less chances than they did. It was park the bus backs to the wall for the last 20 minutes. The goals we did get weren't particularly well-earned, one was a complete gift and the other was a simple case of them having nobody to contest the second phase from a corner.
