Sample Gamble Lifts Jets Toward Title Contention
New York Jets rise as title contenders fueled by the Sample Gamble. Coach Weeb Ewbank traded for defensive back Johnny Sample to boost the secondary, and Sample has intercepted at least one pass in every game this season. He says NFL teams blackballed him, but his aggression and trash talk have unsettled receivers and helped the Jets dominate, including a 52 to 13 win over Houston where Sample picked two passes.
