Can Jets Contend Without Revis? The Jets will soon learn the severity of the knee injury that cornerback Darrelle Revis sustained in a victory at Miami on Sunday. The M.R.I. scheduled for Monday morning may reveal what many Jets feared Sunday night, that Revis has a season-ending tear of an anterior cruciate ligament. Even in the best case, he is expected to miss several weeks. The question is stark for Jets fans: Without him, can the team contend for a Super Bowl? Some will say that it's silly even to ask, that the Jets couldn't have contended even with Revis. But that would ignore the fact that the Jets (2-1) advanced to two A.F.C. title games not long ago and that, maybe more important, football is a strange game. As the Giants showed last season and the Packers before that, just get into the postseason, get on a roll, and you never know .... Based on what we've seen so far, it seems the best hope for the Jets' offense is to be average and opportunistic. They need the defense to be special. It would be hard to be special without Revis, the best player on the Jets and one of the best in football. The Jets could still have a winning record, perhaps, if Revis is done for the year, but would their season essentially already be over?
