Well, now at least Braylon Edwards and Joe Willie Namath can be mentioned in the same sentence.
Edwards did his best impression of Namath’s guarantee Wednesday when talking about Sunday night’s alcohol free game against the Bengals.
“We won’t lose this game,” Edwards said. “We want it too bad. I don’t think we can lose this game knowing the way our mindset is. Guys aren’t talking about New Year’s Eve. Guys aren’t talking about family. All guys are talking about is the playoffs. All guys are talking about is beating Cincinnati.”
Not even talking about New Year’s Eve? Even with Dick Clark ready to be wheeled out? That’s dedication.
“Were all dialed in. We’re all focused on this week. We know all we have to do is win and we’re in. Guys are very, very serious and are approaching this as a Super Bowl.”
The Jets are 1-0 in Super Bowls this season.
