Five reasons not to fret after Sunday night's Jets' season-ending loss to the Steelers.
5. The quarterback. Mark Sanchez just completed his second NFL season and he's been to the AFC title game in both years. The Super Bowl can't be far away, can it?
4. The coach. Rex Ryan has completely changed the culture around this team, from the same old Jets to perennial Super Bowl contenders.
3. The front office. The Jets have 17 free agents, so a lot of tough decisions will have to be made. But GM Mike Tanenbaum has proved he's not afraid to make bold moves to bring in talent - or keep it.
2. Jets merchandise will be marked down soon.
1. Spring training! Pitchers and catchers report for the Yankees in 22 days and for the Mets in 24.
