The New York Jets head into Week 14 fresh off a 27-24 win against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Jets (3-9) have been at the bottom of NFL national power rankings polls most weeks throughout the year.
Is this week going to be different?

Here’s how the Jets fare in national media power rankings polls heading into Week 14:

26. New York Jets (30): The quiet acquisition of WR Adonai Mitchell in the Gardner deal, which also netted two first-rounders, could really render this trade one-sided at some point. Trust the process.

25. Jets (No. 27; 3-9): How different will the roster look next year?

27. New York Jets (3-9)
Last week: 30
Sunday: Beat Falcons 27-24
Best-case scenario: A late-season surge
It’s too much to ask the Jets to really get on a roll. But if they’re still competing hard and showing improvement even with a depleted roster after the trade deadline, that’s a good sign for first-year coach Aaron Glenn.
Up next: vs. Dolphins, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

28. New York Jets (3-9)
Last Week: 31
Week 13 Result: Won vs. Atlanta 27-24
Aside from the team earning its third victory of the season, Adonai Mitchell experiencing a breakout contest for the Jets deserves headline-grabbing attention. Mitchell caught eight passes for 102 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons. Mitchell felt like a throw-in as part of the Sauce Gardner trade.
However, the Colts are currently sputtering, while Gardner left Sunday’s contest with a calf injury. The Jets already have a WR1 in Garrett Wilson when he’s healthy. But Mitchell could give Gang Green a dynamic duo when both are in the lineup and the team somehow gets better quarterback play.

26. Jets (+5)
They have won three of five games, which shows some fight. That’s the good news for Aaron Glenn in his first season. The bad news is they have a long way to go.

26. New York Jets (+1)
They had absolutely no answers for Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, but stayed close enough to pull out a last-second win anyway. Don’t ask how. Just enjoy it, unless you were rooting for a higher draft pick.

26. New York Jets (3-9)
Last week’s ranking: No. 29Last week’s result: beat Falcons, 27–24This week: vs. Dolphins
Since Week 11, OC Tanner Engstrand and the Jets’ offense has been barreling toward a positive EPA. In that short window, New York is 23rd in EPA, ahead of the Buccaneers, Chargers, Ravens and a handful of other quality teams, coordinators and or quarterbacks. I think Engstrand has provided the answers with some smart passing concepts that are leading to breakthroughs for new faces like Adonai Mitchell.

X factor for final stretch: Defensive end Will McDonald IV
McDonald, a 2023 first-round pick, is on pace for his second double-digit sack season, but he has had stretches of inconsistency. Four of his seven sacks came in Week 10 against the Browns. His pressure percentage of 11.7% is down from last season’s 16.3%, per NFL Next Gen Stats. The Jets have to make a decision on McDonald’s fifth-year option by May. Right now, it’s projected at $14.9 million (fully guaranteed) for 2027.
