"For the second consecutive week, the Jets prepared for a game while dealing with potentially-damaging annoying off-the-field distractions, things that could easily have derailed them from what's most important to them -- winning games. And for the second consecutive week the Jets showed their resiliency, beating the Dolphins 31-23 last night in a pivotal AFC East division game at Sun Life Stadium. Two weeks ago, it was the questionable treatment by players and coaches of a female reporter from a Mexico TV station that got them a stern slap on the wrist from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The Jets went out and beat the Patriots anyway last Sunday. This past week it was the unthinkable indiscretion of receiver Braylon Edwards, who was arrested on a DWI after 5 a.m. early in the week, an event that set off a firestorm of unwanted attention in their locker room. "This is a tough, resilient team," coach Rex Ryan said after last night's game. "I can't even really enjoy this right now, I'm so drained," Jets right tackle Damien Woody said as he sat slumped in front of his locker. "I'm extremely tired. This a damn good win; I'm just tired as hell right now. It's called emptying the tank. At least we did it in victory." Indeed, the Jets had victory snatched from them here last year in a Monday night game when the Dolphins scored the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds." http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/first_class_win_for_rising_jets_HYiwRG7Lsd15jwlROxomIO
