The Jets went on the road and defeated the Redskins 34-19 to improve to 7-5 on the year, but still have some work to do if they are going to get back to the postseason. New York is currently tied with Cincinnati, Tennessee and Oakland for the final Wild Card spot. The Chiefs snapped their 4-game losing streak with a 10-3 win in Chicago. While Kansas City is just 5-7 on the year, they...
