"The Jets just weren’t very good last year. Their won-loss record was inflated by an easy slate of opponents from the A.F.C. West and N.F.C. West."
Inflated? The Jets were 3-5 against the "easy slate of opponents" in those divisions - beating the Cardinals, Rams and (barely) the Chiefs, while losing to the Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, 49ers and Seahawks.
Meanwhile, the Jets were 6-2 against the rest of their opponents.
