‘”It was very disappointing for me, especially the goals I had set for me and for this team which was for us to try to get to the playoffs, and I wasn’t out there,” said McKelvin. “For me missing some time in the offseason and then only playing in a couple of preseason games and then basically two games played this whole season, getting injured in one game in the second quarter, it’s been very hard to sit back and watch the games."’

‘Under NFL rules, the Jets can’t deny permission, though they can decide when the interview can take place. Following a 24-14 win at Cincinnati, New York will travel to San Diego to play the Chargers in an AFC divisional playoff game on Sunday.’

‘”It’s definitely something I’ll be able to tell my grandkids,” said Jackson of the double 1,000 mark. “It’s something I’m excited about especially coming from where I came from to be the first guy to do it. It’s a big deal and it’s something I’m definitely proud of.”‘
