In case Mike White’s legend status wasn’t lofty enough, he’s back in time to potentially save the Jets.
Just over two weeks after breaking multiple ribs in a gutty effort against the Bills, White was cleared on Monday to play Sunday’s game against the Seahawks that the Jets need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
It was only five days ago that the Jets’ season appeared all but over due to a fourth straight loss, the last two with Zach Wilson starting for the injured White and not providing much hope for his own future.
But after a few key results over the weekend went in the their favor — they owe thank-you cards to Rhamondre Stevenson, for his final-minute fumble just before the Patriots could take the lead against the Bengals, and Tua Tagovailoa for throwing three interceptions in a loss to the Packers (following a potential head injury) — the Jets are suddenly back in business with White leading the way.
