Robert Griffin III explaining at ‘Get Up’ – “Well, I wouldn’t say I’m trying to give the Jets losses, right? We’ve got to slow it down. I know the schedule release happened, but if they did get off to a 2-4 start, Jets fans, don’t panic. Calm down, take a deep breath. Understand that you don’t have to have a fast start to win the Super Bowl. And you also don’t even have to win your own division to win the Super Bowl because Tom Brady and the Bucs did that just a few years ago.”
In a nutshell, led by Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers achieved a historic victory in Super Bowl LV in 2021 as the first wildcard team to win a Super Bowl since 2011, despite not winning their division. Furthermore, they etched their names in history as the first team to host a Super Bowl in their own stadium. In that unforgettable game, Tom Brady secured his seventh Super Bowl championship and fifth Super Bowl MVP accolade.

Jets’ challenging schedule
Griffin candidly recognizes the formidable road ahead for the Jets in their first six games. Their path is strewn with formidable opponents: the Bills, Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs, Broncos, and Eagles. These powerhouses pose a significant challenge for the Jets, setting the stage for an arduous journey to victory. However, he believes that the Jets brought in Aaron Rodgers and secured Primetime games for a reason. He encourages Jets fans to see these difficult times as an opportunity for their team to rise, with Rodgers leading them through the tough moments.
For more than a decade, the New York Jets have been stuck in the shadows of disappointment, their absence from the playoffs stretching back to 2010. The team’s faithful fans yearn for a resurgence, longing to see their beloved Jets reclaim their place among football’s elite.
